HVAC actuator valves Need guidance from anyone who has ever replaced the actuator valves for the AC system. Are they accessible w/o removing/F'ing with the dash?
My AC works fine as far as cold, but after a time the discharge air from the blower decreases. Typically I can switch to the "fresh air " setting and after a while the air will discharge at a higher rate,& I can switch back to AC and it works just fine, at least for a while. So, I have determined at least one actuator valve controlling the vents is semi-FUBAR. Also have the typical "cold air at the feet" BS from time to time.
Y'all know what I'm saying? It's getting to be a PITA.
Anyone with experience with fixing this please chime in, I don't need a step-by-step necessarily, just some tips.
Thanks in advance!,
