SOURCE: 1999 Chev Suburban 1500 with front and rear ac -

the truck has two evaporator cores one for the front unit one for the rear unit also two expansion valves, one for the front one for the rear.

check the large a/c line going to the rear unit if the line is warm with the A/C compresser running replace the rear expansion valve.

if the line is cold then replace the rear units blend actuator motor. if the frount unit is cold then most likely the blend actuator is the problem, remove the cover from the rear unit and you will see the actuator mounted on the side of the air handler box.

the best way to indentifie the unit is to buy one so you know what your looking for.

let me know if there is any thing else you need.

My ac/heat only blows through defrosters and not dashboard vents. Could it be the air actuator door?

If you have actuators , yes they can be bad. If you have vacuum pods, they could be lacking vacuum from the engine ports. Check vacuum lines and system. Also the control valve in the dash could be bad.

My heater worked a little bit today when I had the thermostat changed but notice the fan wasn't working and that's why it did not heat the cabin. Now I notice the air compressor is coming on while the

well the ac compressor will come on if you have it in defrost mode,if heater is blowing cold ,after you just had thermostat replace ,you could possibly have air in system.now if your heater motor is not working which is called the blower motor under dash it could be the resistor that controls it also these rigs have been known for wire harness problems at heater control unit and the blower motor connector.good luck,mike

I have a 93 Saab and my vents aren't blowing heat. When I hit a bump in the road it may kick my heat on full blast for a couple of minutes, but as soon as I hit another bump, the heat kicks off. Also, the...

You don't say whether the fan starts and shuts off with the bumps, or the heat goes cold but the fan stays on. If it's the fan shutting off and coming back, you most likely have an intermittent connection to the blower motor somewhere at the fuse box, the fan speed control switch or the fan motor, or a loose ground connection at the fan motor. The fan motor is visible under the right side speaker grille on the dash. Make sure you re-connect the short black corrugated hose to the grill vent or you won't have defrosting on that side!

The air distribution rotary switch controls where the air goes. The fan speed switch controls exactly that: fan speed. the temp rotary switch controls the coolant temp into the heater core. You need to clarify what you mean by "Also, the dash controls for the vents won't allow me to turn up the power"

You might also have one or more of the following issues:
  1. is you vacuum tank properly connected and are there no leaks in the vacuum piping? The tank is in the driver side rear wheel well below the trunk deck on a convertible, and in the passenger side front fender area on the other cars. It's a white bottle with one or two hoses connected to it. If not properly on, your vacuum operated heater flaps won't move. Does the air distribution knob make sucking or hissing noises when you set it to different positions? If not, check the tank connections, look for vacuum line leaks, then suspect the vacuum valve behind the distribution knob.
  2. if the air distribution rotary switch makes noises when you change its setting, but nothing happens, then suspect the vacuum solenoids that open and close the heater flaps - could be a loose vacuum line or a defective vacuum solenoid
  3. the shaft connecting the temp control knob to the heater valve behind it may not be properly in place. This can be inspected, and adjusted if necessary, from the left side speaker/vent cutout on top of the dash. Make sure you re-connect the black flex hose to the air vent tube, or you'll get no defrosting afterwards!
  4. remember, the centre vents always blow cold air; a brilliant idea from Saab so the driver (and passenger) can get fresh air in the face and stay awake while the rest of the driver, passenger and car is toasty!
