    Hey all I'm having heater issues in my 2002 FLT Century. It's in blowing hot air only inside the cab. Heather regulator on the dash doesn't work. Replaced the water regulator valve it didn't help. Behr HVAC system. Trying to find the electric blueprint for the HVAC. Any help is appreciated. I don't want to replace everything. Trying to figure out the problem. Can't find the blend door pretty sure that particular set up doesn't have one and operated with the water regulator valve I might be wrong though

    I have a 2002 Century and has the same problem. I had it fixed once before. I am going to try and figure out myself before Fall months. In the meantime, I just close the valves in the coolant lines to the cab and bunk heater cores. I'm pretty sure there is some sort of cab temperature sensor that's between the HVAC temp control knob and the water control valve. There isn't any written material trouble shooting in the manuals. So I have to go to the electronic schematics. I tried that the last time and gave up quickly because I didn't have time, and just gave it to a mechanic to fix as he already was fixing something else on the truck. BTW, I'm going to try using Gemini AI on my new Pixel phone to help. Gemini can view pictures taken from the camera and help you through projects. I didn't use the camera, but Gemini already helped me with a repair-somthing I imagine that would have taken quite a bit of time going through a Google search.

    Thanks. I've troubleshooting/diagnostic book for it but it doesn't help a lot cuz there is not enough information in it such a numbers for power/ground/resistance. I will try posting it here. Right now running with valves shut off and it isn't convenient,it's cold in the mornings and late nights driving, would love to get it fixed. File is too large.

    When it's around 45°-60° F, I leave the bunk heater valve open and turn it on as needed from a switch on the dash. Even if the cab valve is open, but the fan is off, it can get a little warm for me.
