HVAC Question (heat from all vents)

Post by MadJoe »

Hello All. Just bought car back in Sept and noticed when AC is on, I get cool air from all vents.
Now that it's winter, I get heat from floor, AC vents and defrost vent.

Is this problem cause by a bad HVAC door actuator? I am getting the clicking sound.

Thank, Joe

Been a while. Did you ever get this resolved?

The clicking sound so many of us have encountered is the motor that moves a flap to switch between fresh air and recirculate, usually, the clicking will stop if you switch recric on or off, depending on where the gear in the motor is stripped. It shouldn't affect the selection of which vents the air blows out of, just whether or not that air includes any outside air.
