Defrost Only regardless of Setting Print E-mail
Written by Cebby   

Have you had your HVAC controls stop working except for the defrost regardless of where the mixer dial was positioned?  I did recently.


The fix is simple - you just need to know where to look.

Pop the hood and look at the intake manifold (on the driver side).  You will soon discover that a hose has fallen off the intake manifold.  I've circled where the problem is - the hose is hanging to the right of the nipple.

Locate this hose connection


Slide the hose back on - you'll see how easy it slides on and will now know why it came off (too loose...).  I plan to add a zip tie to mine shortly:

Slip the hose back on


All done - took longer to read this than it will to fix it.

All done


EDIT:  If this doesn't fix your problem, then there are other issues at work.  You might have something related to TSB # 242499 (HVAC changes to defrost under acceleration) or something else.
