I have searched and cannot find a solution. I have dual climate control and the front climate works great with no issues. I will have the front set at 68 and it billows cold. But the rear vents are blowing hot like it’s set to full heat. I cannot find anywhere that states whether it has its own blend door or where it is even fed from. Any help would be much appreciated.

It sounds like an actuator is not working but I am not sure what you mean by rear vents? Here is a breakdown of the system so you can see how it works and what the actuators do. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

By rear vents I mean the vents mounted to the back of the center console that are used to cool/heat the back seat passengers. Hope that helps.

Okay, this would be a problem with the Air Distribution Door Actuator, here is its location and how to change it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
