Hi,

I need to know a couple of things. First, does the vehicle have automatic climate control or manual control? Does it have dual climate control?

In most cases, the air temperature entering the passenger compartment is off due to either a faulty blend air door actuator or a temperature sensor (automatic climate control).

Also, let me know if the temperature changes at all on the left side when you request a change.

Let me know which system you have so I can inspect the correct wiring schematics.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

That is difficult for me to tell because both were available. Without an RPO number, I can't be sure. (see pic below)

Are you able to set the temperature and then the vehicle maintains that temperature or do you need to change the temperature? Are you to select the temperatures for the driver's and passenger's sides so they are different? If you have that control, it will indicate dual climate control.

Let me know.

Joe
