I have a problem with my car. The drivers side blows hot air. I checked every actuator and everything is in order. My system is charged and blows cold air on the passenger side. I think the problem is the heater control valve. Do you know where is located?

Hello,

This car does not have a heater control valve. It sounds like the blend door actuator is bad but you say you replaced it? How is it in order? Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job and a diagram of the blend door location below:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thank you for your insight. The blend door actuator works. I checked the coolant and it is okay. I think it has some kind of valve. Anyways, I have an appointment to the dealer next week and I hope they will sort things out.
My car has a PTC heater (positive temperature coefficient heater). Maybe it has something to do with that.
