    Check them yourself. Only takes a couple minutes to take a quick look.

    normally when you only get heat on the high setting it’s a plugged up filter or the core itself is clogged up

    Temp door is probably broken. Even tho the actuator moves the door can be broken or stripped inside.

    If this is the case, who wants to be the one to break the bad news on the labor cost for replacing the $35 temp. door??

    Gorilla tape on the fresh air intake vent will solve it.
    It's hidden behind my air cleaner out of view.
    If a want fresh air I can lower the window .

    Ok, tore the dash apart. Took off actuator and the door is not broke. I can take a pair of needle nose pliers and open and close it so it’s not stuck, and the place where they usually break looks good. No cracks. Plugged actuator back in and then turn the temp control knob to make sure it works. It will only turn one direction. Plus if I turn the control to stop the actuator, it doesn’t. Just keeps going in the direction that holds the door to cold. I ordered another actuator and hoping that’s the issue.

    The actuators are all the same part number all 5 so u can swap.

    Date code 365/15 and older had issues with shorting internally.
    Also check for wiring rub points at RR corner of radio case. Grey wires.
