Hvac Problem After Adding Remote Start

[beav626]

I had a remote starter added to my 03 Escalade with Auto Climate control (Avital 4103 remote starter)

 

It works great except for a HVAC issue.

 

when using remote start (I say 50% of the time) Everything works fine I get in the car and some warning lights are on on the dash (normal, i think). I insert the key and turn to on. the driver side AC blows cold. Passenger side blows HOT.

 

It has to do with the actuators for the HVAC air doors. I reset the HVAC Actuators (By pulling the Fuse) It still messes up frequently.

 

When Auto started it performs normally, until I insert the key and begin to drive.

 

It does something to the Actuators.

 

Any suggestions?

Your remote starter is making the blend door actuators reset themselves. It needs to go back to the installer so that they can properly set up the remote start.

I was thinking that. But how does that explain it messing up 50% of the time?

Not certain, but the problem began right after the remote start was added, right? This is not a coincidence.
