2003 Tahoe LT w/ Autoride and w/ 3rd row seat. My rear climate control only blows cold air. The front and second row controls for the air are set to a high temp. Everything else on them works great, it just blows cold. What needs fixing? Just wondering if it can be a do it yourself kinda project. Oh and would I find this procedure in a Tahoe manual?

Simple check is to determine if the engine coolant is getting to the rear unit. Two heater hoses run from the firewall, passenger side, under the car to the rear. At the firewall there is a 4 hose connector, heater control valve, that controls the amount of coolant to the rear unit. Sometimes it will plug up, some times the heater hoses will plug up, some times the control valve will not get the command to open with a vacuum hose.

SOURCE: 2001 tahoe front heater not working, rear heater blows warm air

Notorious for plugged heater cores. Also updated plastic restriction couplers mounted at heater core available from dealer. Try back flushing heater core. Run engine till its at operating temperature then carefully hold the inlet and outlet hose breifly with heater fan on high if hoses are nearly the same temp then flow is good , if not then core is plugged.

SOURCE: 2003 chevy tahoe no rear heat

I know the earlier tahoe's have two heater lines running from the engine compartment to the rear under the vechile. Those lines could be clogged or pinched shut. What you do is get two hose locking pliers. Go under your truck, they are two metal lines that turn into rubber and back into metal again farther down the line. First, checked for pinched lines. If none, find where the rubber hoses are, clamp them off, remove from metal lines and drain. Use garden hose to flush fresh water through. When water comes through at high pressure and pretty clear, it should be done. Reconnect hoses, top off radiator fluid and it should be fine.

SOURCE: Air Conditioner blows hot on one side after battery DC

You need to replace the driver side temperature door control actuator. While doing this... make sure you bolt the new one in AND THEN PLUG IT IN or it will spin and not line up in the right place... then there is a series of crazy steps to fix that problem.

SOURCE: 2004 chevy tahoe, dual climate control, blowing different temps

Its more then likely the temp door broken or temp door motor broken/stuck. There is 2-3 of these motors under the dash on the side of the evap/heater core box. Some require extensive labor to replace, good luck

When front air is on rear heat always

If you have owners manual check that your climate control settings are as you expect them to be, if that makes sense. Some on Fixya do not realise they gave climate control , they think they have normal A/C and try to correct chimerical problems. Please check and repost

I have a 2003 chevy tahoe Lt the air works in front and with back controls but heat is only working in the front it blows with back controls but puts out no heat what causes this?

Your climate system can only cool or heat but not both. The temperature has a big effect on this. The cooling needs the compressor.

No heat or a/c from second row vents

I have the same problem with my 2002 Durango. After accessing the rear HVAC unit you will find that there is a rear electronic actuator that operates a plastic door inside the duct system. The door switches the rear system between heat and cold. I had two broken items, the white actuator connector has a tab that broke off and the door inside the duct has broken where this connector fits inside. I am still trying to find the parts on line. I do not know what the part numbers are for these two items. Hope that helps, it seems to be a typical problem with the older durango's.
