AC dont work and heater door seems stuck in the heating position

Last year the ac belt broke on my 99 GMC Siera , winter came and its been on the heater position ever since. This past weekend I replaced the belt and turned on the AC.. The Compressor never came on and the duct only blew very hot air. I am thinkig I have two seperate issues, one the heater damper is stuck on the heater position. I say this because even fresh air comes through very hot, even though its cold outside. The other may be related to freon, or a presure switch. What are your thoughts on this? Thank You

You seem to be on the right track. You can manually jump the compressor clutch, to come on and see if she blows cold air. Follow
the compressor clutch wiring back to the evaporator. There should be
a 2 wire harness there with a connector. Take the wiring connector off
and install a small jumper wire between the 2 terminals. this should
automatically make your compressor clutch engage , regardless of
freon level or head pressure switch condition. You may also have a
vacumm leak, which controls your heater damper actuator. Check all
the vacumm hose in the engine bay and try to locate the damper in
the dash, so you can manually pull the damper open, to see how it
helps your situation.Good luck.

99 gmc yukon denali ac back works but blows hot in front what can it be

The actuator door on the heater or motor may not be changing position to direct the air. Look under the dash in the front center and there should be a small motor attached to the heater that directs the air flow. Hope this helps.

1999 VW Passat AC/heat doesn't work? The belt broke this summer? I was told should still blow heat even if no belt?

If you are talking about the belt for the ac compressor, yes the heater should still work.
If the blower is not working, you will need to have the blower motor checked for voltage and ground.

Mi heater no calienta pero enfria mitsubishi montero 2001

Air Temperature Control Blend Door Failure No Heat or no AC (dependes on where door sticks)

In all modern cars there is a tiny DC electric motor driven gear drive that moves a plastic door that blends heated and cooled air from the AC and the heater core, this is called (interestedly enough) the air temperature control blend door actuator. The motor that moves this door fails because the door starts sticking from warping, most common complaint is no heat but it can be no AC as well. To replace these parts (blend door and blend door actuator) you must remove the entire dash from the car. Always have this problem confirmed by a dealer or qualified repair shop as it is a very expensive repair.

Other causes of no heat in the cabin are engine thermostats that are stuck open (engine runs cold) or air bubbles in the cooling system.

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra regular cab. 4.3 v6 The heater has only been blowing cold air. Checked coolant and replaced the thermostat. No change. AC worked fine this summer. Heat worked fine last...

sounds like you have a bad temperature door actuator. This is a motor that connects to the door and uses inputs from the sensor in itself and the heater control module to open the door from hot to cold. I does take some knowledge on recalibrating this actuator and installing it. if it isn't install correctly it could damage the new part, so just take care

The heater dont work on my 2004 gmc sierra 1500, engine(4.8) only the AC works in it... but the heater not anymore.... please help... and also the temperature gauge not working, it's only pointing...

it sounds like a heater door actuator is not allowing the door to swing into the heat position...as for the temp gauge there is a recall for a bad insterment cluster for that truck...a circuit board is cracked in the dash not allowing the gauge to function...call a GM dealer to get more info on this recall...the heat problem can be easliy fixed at any qualified service station

No heat in 98 jimmy. Replaced water pump,

Possibly.. the actuators which operate the doors actually have a position signal for reference, but the actual motors inside the actuators dont realize there is a limit and overshoot their limits causing the fine wires inside to rip apart rendering the actuator scrap but this happens when actuators are still plugged in to the connector while being taken off the heater door, and they can and will still move with the key in the off position if the actuator thinks it not in the proper position..thats how they work anyway.hope you had them unplugged untill the last, then this would'nt happen....hope this explaination helped
