06 Laredo - AC/Heat & Rear Defrost Dash Lights Not Operable

Can you hear the front ac/heater fan? They use the same AC compressor so that should be okay. The fan switches fail quite often on those. That controls how much air is pushed by the fan for AC, heat and defrost. The switch is attached to the fan knob on the dash.

post a real question.
eg: my rear defroster is bad. the glass heater is dead.
or
my defrost knob on the dash does not give me heat to the front glass.
does fan run on high.???
does engine reach and hold 180F min, and ? IR pyro gun it.

the problems are most likely related sounds to me like the controler is defected replace the ac and heater head unit

the heater vacuum motor and lines needs to be checked.Also get the blend door checked.

NO HEAT ON FLOOR VENTS

I would first remove the fuse for the heater control head for one minute and then put in and retry.
The control head could have locked up on you with a volt spike. The rear defrost switch does not go through the same circuit in the heat as the hvac controls. Could be a broken know also.
Could also be mechanical linkage on side of heater box above accelerator pedal may have broken or popped apart. or if electrical motor control may be actuator.

There is a vacuum leak under the hood. Find the vacuum line on the passenger side where it comes through the firewall and follow it to the engine. You system needs vacuum to operate and without it the default setting is on defrost for safety reasons.

All those buttons normally are on the center concole. The heat/air knob turns to the red for heat, the more its turned in the red the hotter the heat blows. If your talking about the AC air, that should be on the knob that lets you chose the fan speed, just push it in to turn on the AC a light on the button may come on to let you know its been activated. the Rear Defrost is a single button, i think with 3 wavy lines top to bottom also in the center concole.

You have a vacuum leak going into the truck. On your dash there is a knob that allows you to go from floor to dash to defrost. This knob is controlled by vacuum from the engine. The default position for the HVAC system is the defrost setting. There is a small black tube (about 1/4 inch in diameter). Pop the hood and look on the passenger side of the engine compartment near the fire wall. This is where this vacuum line usually runs through into the cab. If you can not see any line going into the cab then start tracing all the smaller lines (1/4") coming off of the engine. There will be red, green and black ones. The red and green ones are mainly for emission control. If you trace then out you will find the one with the problem. it will be broken, kinked or perhaps disconnected.
