Heat/Air Problem

I'm having some problems with my 05 Silverado's heating and air conditioning. Two or three times over the summer while I had my air on it would turn into hot air, really hot. Almost like I had the heat on full blast instead of the air. When I turned the truck off and then turned it back on again it was back to normal. About a week ago I had to use my heat for the first time and it was only putting out cool air. I'm trying to narrow down what the problem is. I'd like to try and avoid taking it anywhere and fix it myself, but I also don't want to just start throwing parts and money at it. Thoughts?

 

Thanks Nic

That's all anyone's got?? I could really use some advise...

 

It's all the advice you got because it is the likely culprit.

I've never done the repair but there are a few threads on here if you search. I think that with the dual zone one side is easier than the other. Does the passenger side of your truck do the same thing?

My wifes 05 Yukon was doing the same thing. replaced the passenger side blend door actuator and it has been fine since. do a search on here and you will find what you need.

Mine went, both blend door actuators and the control head needed to be replaced

Do I tried my heat this morning and all of the vents blow cool air. Defrost, floor, everything. It seems like the passenger side isn't blowing quite as strong. Does this mean the passenger side actuator is bad?

 

I followed the links you guys provided and they were very helpful. I'm just trying to make sure I'm replacing the correct actuator.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
