AC/Heating fan control in center consol.

The AC/Heating fan in the center consol, for the rear seat passengers, stopped working. I can't find the location of fuse to see if it has blown. What fuse controls this part?

Honda pilot and acura mdx share a lot of the same parts. The rear blower motor resister is known to go out after a while.

Either buy the honda part 80 bucks, or you can buy a resistor and fix it yourself for about 10 bucks. Details in the link above.

SOURCE: Acura MDX A/C won't come on

I went to an Acura dealer to buy the transistor for the rear A/C unit. The service advisor told me that the problem with the front A/C was probably due to a defective front transistor / resistor. I bought that part too.

The front transistor is located next to the blower motor under the dash on the passenger's side. It is secured by three or four small bolts. The one on the bottom left is very close to the carpet and the most difficult to get off and put back on.

The rear transistor is located behind the carpeted trim panel on the center console (driver's side). The carpeted trim panel is secured by clips only - there are no screws, so remove it carefully starting at the side near the accellerator pedal. Once the panel has been removed, reach inside a small hole in the metal frame to access the rear transistor. It is removed by twisting it and pulling it out. The hole in the frame is small and you might find pliers helpful.

After replacing both parts, the front and rear A/C are working. Apparently these transistors are common failures. If the A/C is out in your Acura MDX and the fuse checks good, a new transistor will likely solve your problem.

SOURCE: Heater & AC will not blow any air.

there's a resistor pack for the fan that allows it to work at different speeds. does it work on the high setting but no others? if so, it's the resistor pack at fault. it's mounted on the fan under the passenger side of the dashboard. you may have to pull the glove box down and use an extension to get to it. if it doesnt work on high or at all, try to pull the connector off of the fan under the dash, turn the ac on and check for proper voltage and ground. it should just be a plain old red wire and a black wire. the red is power. the black is ground.

Kia Sedona- center and third row heating vents blowing cold air

There is a separate button on the lower dash labeled RR HTR for the rear heater. If you do not engage the switch it will blow cold air.

I have a 2003 Honda Pilot and the rear air conditioning is not working i went to the dealer and they said it was the rear air sensor and they said it was in the center console. where in the center console...

If you look at your center console, you'll notice that there is an air vent on the back, facing the second row seats. This is where the rear air conditioning can be manually controlled by passengers in the rear of the Pilot...and where the air sensor is. To access it, you'd need to take apart your center console.

AC/Heater control valve :Lancer 2003 Misubishi

The sliding switch on the console is stuck in the cold position and the knob is pulled off. Use pliers to jiggle the switch as best you can. Feel under the center console and you probably will find the cable that is hooked up to the flapper. You'll know because when you jiggle the cold/heater switch at the upper console, the cable will move slightly. At the hookup of the cable to the flapper down under the console (passenger side) try to work the flapper loose to the open (or close) position. At the same time work the sliding switch (with pliers). The flapper will come loose and function properly. Try not to knock of the AC button like I did in the process. It flew off some where under the passenger seat. I'll find it sometime before summer. Ha.

2007 Chevy Uplander Rear Overhead A/C Vents Won't Work

Have you checked the Aux switch near the bottom of the center control console.
There should be a knob with: Aux, Off, 1, 2, 3. This is the switch for the rear AC blower.
If the driver wants to control the rear AC, use the 1, 2, 3 settings.
If you put it on Aux, Than the rear AC is controlled by the passenger in the back seat using the extra controls located on the Overhead DVD player. (The front AC must be on the rear to work)

A/C Fan No-Go - Clarify solution posted by by Jason Wagner

Hi Marc,
I'm not too clear as to which of the two AC fans is not working.....Is it the condenser fan (the one out front of the radiator, mounted at the front of the engine compartment) or the cabin fan?.....either one will stop working in the event of low gas pressure in the AC system.

Is the AC working at all?

The removal of the center consul is not a small job....and to get to the resistor, is also, not very easy....I'm sure that if it is the resistor that has become defective, you'll be able to get one from a breakers yard....They don't usually give problems on the BMW....Incidentally they control the lower speeds of the interior fan operation, but not the high speed, so if the fan works when full and not any other speed, the resistor is the problem.

The fan operation is also fused....A good idea is to check the fuses....

Does the climate control work?

I think I need more clarification and then hopefully I can help a little more....

Best regards Johngee10
