Can't control climate control and it's stuck on defrost at hottest setting. 2006 Hyundai tuscon

  • osu7378 Mar 26, 2017

    When I move the control to the vents it still stays on defrost. And even if I turn the climate control all the way to the blue the air is still hot. But I'm able to still control the blower speed just fine? Its really confusing cause i dont hear any clicking noises like if i had a bad blend door actuator. So do you think just my climate control knob is bad or is it my controller that has my a.c. defrost vent knob?

    The problem is with controller the speed switch may be replaceable on it's own but the hot/cold actuator and vent/defrost actuator control is part of the main unit that you can not replace each unit but must as a whole

Possible heater control unit failure as this system has a hot/cold blend door actuator and a separate defrost floor blend door actuator so default setting is defrost for that actuator but not hot setting so controller fault is most likely

SOURCE: climate control

try putting the selector in a desired position with the key on then turn off the key and disconnect the battery for 10min.

SOURCE: 2006 Ford Crown Victoria HVAC only blows thru windshield defrost

You have a vacuum leak. Defrost is the default postion(no Vacuum). Start by finding the small black vacuum line near the heater hoses at the fire wall under the hood.Trace it back, it should go to a square black reservoir . Not totally sure exactly where it is located on this model,shop manual doesn't show a very good pic, but it states to remove wiper arm and pivot shaft to remove it. You will see a second line going from here to intake manifold vacuum port. Make sure you don't have a leak there somewhere.

SOURCE: climate control system only blow air out defrost vent

there is a good chance that you blend air door is stuck closed over your heater core and therefore not allowing the heat to flow, also your door that opens and close your direction of flow from the floor ,das,vent and defrost.your going to have to remove the lower cowling of the dash on the passenger side analso some of the center dash to actually check to see if the cable,servo motors. are acuating the doors.the issue could be just a stuck door or a misaligned cable or that it came off. that falls under the mechanical side of probabilities. electrical would most likely be a faulty selector switch or a servo motor

SOURCE: climate control is on defrost only the auto

Check your vacuum pump located on the right side fenderwell. see if its running. Check the vacuum hose at the hubs for leaks or damage. repair if damaged. check for other vacuum leaks such as the grey hose going to the heater control valve.

I changed a timing belt on my 2006 hyundai tuscon and now the vehicle won't start

But it started and ran fine before this? If YES, then the answer's patently obvious eh? The belt was put on incorrectly, or more accurately, the timing has been set up wrongly. Sadly it seems you'll need to get someone to check the timing and get it reset properly. Best of luck!

My blower only blows threw the defrost vents. all climates everything, no matter where i put the control knob. dealership says the solenoid got stuck closed after using my 4 wheel drive.

Assuming you have vacuum controls at the heater control head, you have a classic vacuum leak in the hose from the engine intake manifuold to the control head, or the vaccum storage canister somewhere in the engine compartment. It is required to fail to defrost by law.

Climate Control Assembly
The climate control assembly has 3 system controls:
  • The function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with 2 electrical switches to supply battery positive voltage (B+) to the blower motor control circuit and the A/C clutch circuit (if equipped).
Vacuum Control Motors
The 2 vacuum control motors:
  • are actuated by vacuum from the function selector switch.
  • position the plenum doors to direct system airflow to the vehicle's interior as determined by the function selector switch setting.
The vacuum reservoir is behind the driver fender well, black plastic ball.

If you have diesel, then you will have a vacuum motor under the hood.

please rate if this helps.

The upper air vents will not open so only the floor ones and the defrost will work

{: ) It is possible that the mode actuator is malfunctioning, and this is usually the cause in most cases. It can also be a stuck or binding mode actuator door.
Sometimes the wirings and connectors can give problems. If the signals do not reach the actuator properly, the control sysytem will assume a default mode position, and air will flow only to the floor and defrost vents.
Check carefully your climate control settings.
