    I recently replaced my dryer and condensor added freyon and everything is blowing nice and cold.. only issue is the a/c is blowing out the defrost and trinkles out the reg a/c vents.. the guys who installed the condenser and stuff said he thinks it's my climate control unit not changing it over to a/c.. before I ware $300 has anyone gone threw this ? Should I buy the climate control head? Thanks

    I would first check for stuck vents in the ac box or a malfunctioning vent actuator before replacement of control heaf

    It probably just a broke mode door actuator. They break all the time.

    Quit putting stuff on the dash. Something fell down and is keeping it from Swapping over. Or is broken like the last guy said.

    How do I tell if it's the actuator ? Thanks

    We were playing with the a/c and defrost knob and we had to play with it back and forth a few times for the door to close in that vent under the hood

    I found my actuator none of the gears are spinning when I change the knob.. is it a bad actuator or the climate control box.

    The actuator is located near firewall right? So when I turn the controls that spins around stops then if I change controls again it doesnt spin anymore

    Yep, that actuator is split open. Probably a broken tang. They are held in with 2 or 3 torx head screws and come straight out.
