If your car's A/C is blowing the wrong temperature or the air won't switch between the face, feet, or windscreen vents, a faulty HVAC actuator could be the cause.
π§ Temperature actuator β Controls the blend door to adjust hot and cold air.
π§ Direction (mode) actuator β Controls where the air flows (dash vents, floor, or defrost).
Common symptoms: β’ Clicking noise behind the dashboard β’ Incorrect air temperature β’ Air coming from the wrong vents β’ Inconsistent airflow
A proper diagnosis can save you from replacing the wrong parts.
