The fan blower, even after changing it to cool -giving hot air

Hi, I have 2001 toyota avalon. In winter, I put the temperature knob of fan (2 near music system) to heat. After that now when I put it back to cool side, I am getting only the hot air from the blower. Both knob shows to cool (blue side) but giving only the hot air. What can be the problem?

I would think the vent direction control isn't moving the heater box vent , stuck in the open position so only hot air from the engine ,strip out the control panel a check that the direction control cable is connected both ends ,

SOURCE: A/C will suddenly send out heat. Fiddling with knobs seems to help. What's wrong?

You have a broken wire connection between the temperature control knob and the circuit board behind the center dash console. Vibration causes the failure and once the control knob gets loose the solder connection fails.

For someone that knows how to remove the dash unit and can re-solder a couple of new wires this fix should take no more than 1 hour. Make sure that you apply loctite to the heat control knob spindle nut when you re-assemble it.

The dealer quoted me 750 dollars to fix this issue and I found out that it's a common failure for this year. I fixed mine virtually for free but it took some tools and about an hour of my time.

SOURCE: Heater not working, had thermostat replaced no

My 87 Celica had the same problem and it was the solder connections on the back of the heater control panel.

SOURCE: 1998 toyota avalon heat blows..but blows out cool??? any suggestions

this is going to sound silly, but check you coolant level... if the level is ok, you will have to check to see that the blend door is operation properly. the blend door is located inside the box on the passenger side of the dash. also, check the switch that lets you go from hot to cold....

Why doesn't my 2001 Ford Taurus have heat but the blower motor works but only blows cold air.

Is the coolant level full ? Are the heater hoses hot to the touch ? Do you know where the heater hoses are ? Out in the engine compartment going through the fire wall into the passenger compartment . 2 hoses , one carries hot coolant into the heater core the other is a return back to the cooling system . If hoses are hot you have a temp. door not working . When warmed up what does temp gauge show ?
Temperature Control
The temperature control operates in the following manner:
  • Temperature control of the manual A/C-heater system is determined by the position of the temperature control knob (between COOL and WARM).
  • This control knob is connected to a potentiometer mounted in the integrated control panel. This potentiometer is electrically connected to the A/C electronic blend door actuator that operates the A/C air temperature control door.
  • The A/C electronic blend door actuator contains a reversible electric motor, another potentiometer and a printed circuit board. The wiper of the potentiometer is connected to the actuator output shaft and moves with the output shaft to indicate the position of the A/C air temperature control door.
  • Battery voltage is applied to the ends of each potentiometer. The voltage available at each wiper indicates the position of the potentiometer. The printed circuit board drives the actuator in whichever direction is necessary to make the actuator wiper voltage agree with the control wiper voltage.
System uses a reheat method to provide conditioned air to passenger compartment.
  • All airflow from the blower motor (18527) passes through the A/C evaporator housing where it can be cooled and dehumidified.
  • Temperature is then regulated by reheating a portion of the cooled dry air and blending it with the remaining cool air to the desired temperature.
  • Temperature blending is varied by the A/C air temperature control door which regulates the amount of cooled air that flows through and around the heater core (18476), where it is mixed and distributed.

You have a problem wit the air temperature control blend or the blend door actuator motor, most times both are defective. The parts are located deep in the dash and as such the dash assembly must be removed to service the parts.

The temperature control does not change when the fan is turned up. if i want to change the temperature from hot to cold, i have to turn down the fan, listen for the switch in the dash and then turn the...

I can tell you about my experience on my 1999 F150. I do not believe it is the blower control switch because mine went out and only affected the fan speed. On my truck, in an incident like yours, I could not get a good response from the temperature switch.

I would turn the control and it would hit a stop on both ends, but the temperature would not change to match the switch. What I found is the stem of the temperature control did not turn because the knob cracked behind the switch. There is a half-moon shaped metal clip inside the plastic temperature knob. The clip can spin when the knob is cracked and nothing moves right.

Because the plastic knob has molded stops under the knob, from the drivers point of view, the knob was turning lock to lock. In reality, the stem was not turning. Try taking the knob off and turning the stem with pliers wrapped in cloth to protect the plastic. Then see if the temperature changes.

How to change a thermostat in a 1995 toyota avalon

Radiator Thermostat - It is at the other end of the lower rubber hose of the radiator where the hose itself terminates on the engine- it is called thermostat housing.

For Ac unit - if manual adjustment- just like and ordinary thermostat of the air conditioner it is the knob where you adjust the temperature.

If electronic/digital type need to change whole assembly.

1998 Town Car A/C Blows Hot Air But Is Charged Up

Hi - There may be 2 separate problems. On my 1991 Lincoln Town Car, there is a Thermal Blower Lockout sensor that disables the heater from blowing until the engine temperature reaches a specific temperature. This way if you have vent or floor settings and 90 degrees set and it is winter, you won't get blasted with cold air. When the vehicle warms up, the TBL circuit enables the climate control to blow the hot air. If you use the flr/def instead of the floor or vent control, the TBL should not prevent the heater from working even with a cold engine. On my car, the TBL went bad and always prevented hot air from blowing on the floor and vent settings, even when the engine was hot. Another thing to check is a thermal limitor resistor. It is designed to cut off the blower at very hot temperatures, except if the blower fan is in the hi setting.

As far as the A/C is concerned, can you verify if the clutch is engaging or not? A rapid cycling of the clutch is an indication of low freon. If you are absolutely sure that you are fully charged on freon, I think there are 2 possible causes: (1) Bad pressure switch on the accumulator is indicating low freon that is telling the compressor not to work; (2) a blocked orifice tube.

Nissan Altima no cool air blowing or hot air blowing

Hi!
It appears we have an Air lock scenario and you will need to perform a system Bleed.
Park the vehicle on level ground, when cold remove coolant filler cap, start engine and leave to idle, turn heater on full and blower to max. When engine reaches operating temperature watch and listen near coolant filler, keep clear as gurgling and hopefully a boil over should occur. Top up with very warm coolant and wait as it may do it again.
Check for heat inside vehicle if warm replace coolant cap but keep an eye on temperature gauge as the ~Air lock may have moved on from heater matrix/core so proceedure needs to be carried out again from COLD.
