Ac/heater Only Blows Through Defrost Vents

[tlecstr]

I have a 04 silverado 1500, and the ac will only blow through the defrost vents. Is this a blend door acuator issue?

Thanks!! How easy is it to get to? I've seen posts on replacing the air mix acuator, but how hard is this one to replace?

This could be a vacuum leak. If you loose vacuum it defaults to defrost.

Have you had your battery disconnected ? This also happens sometimes when the battery is disconnected. It did on my 2004 when we installed an after market radio. One of the computers needed to be reset.

Not on an '04. No vacuum. Electric actuators.

 

OP, you might try the re-set procedure:

 

Be sure you pull both fuses.

 

Remove the HVAC/ECAS fuse for a minimum of 10 seconds.

 

Re-install the HVAC/ECAS fuse.

 

Start the vehicle. Let the system do whatever it wants. Leave controls alone.

 

Wait for about a minute for the HVAC control module to re-calibrate.

Tried the re-set and no dice!! I'm pretty sure the gears inside the acuator are broken. It looks like I will have to replace the recirc, and blend door acuator on the drivers side. Are they different parts, or are they the same part, just two of them?
