My '04 2500 just started doing this.

ductman said:add my 05 EXT to the list...I left my flashers on while parked illegally and loading up some junk...it made the battery go dead...I jumped it and when I got in one side was blowing hot. I disconnected the battery twice with no change. Is there a climate control reset? I know on fords if you push a combination of buttons it resets?
The only good thing that came of this is that my check engine light went out with the battery disconnect...I am getting tired of this thing breaking...it recently has beenleaving a trail of rear end fluid on my driveway. Luckily I only have 8 months left on the lease...the real question is do I get another 12 mpg pig that breaks a lot or do I try something diferent?
Add me to the list.... This has become a much more frequent occurence over the last few months... about a year ago it happened and I thought it was a fluke... now it is almost constant. I took it to the dealership this morning and the service writer knew exactly what I was talking about, like he has seen it many times before. I don't want to have to carry a 8mm wrench to "reset" my A/C every so often..greg03 said:P. S. Great White --- Mine started out very infrequently about six months ago. maybe once a month. Now it is usually every day! Good thing its cold outside! I think the battery disconnect will work longer then simply turning the ignition off but not sure about that yet. It is to the point though where turning off ignition works only 20% of the time when it used to work all the time early on. ....

mine would of been $1800.00 if not under warranty. the control panel is 350.00 and each actuator is 250.00WILDFIRE said:
So go by an auto parts store, tell them I've got lights on and ask them to scan it? Didn't realize they could do that! I'll add that to my TTD list.MichiganSilver03 said:Humm you will need to have the code scanned most auto parts stores will do it for free.
Great idea, didn't even think of that! Wouldn't have worked on the freeway with passengers in the back seat but will remember it should it occur again.Take out the back window if it happens again you'll get a nice breeze.
as long as it's cold on the drivers side,you're ahead! just close the vents on the passenger side.the cost of the actuator is moot,it's the labor to replace it,the whole dash has to come out! it took the dealership 9+ hours to do mine, and THEY know what they're doing!chefdavid said:Ok so just finished the battery disconnect... That was a pain with the side mount and the fuse box almost on top of it..
When I turned the truck on the ac was on by default.. I turned it off for 3 min.. Turned it on.. Hot air from all vents now.. I put it in neutral as suggested above turned truck off then on.. back to cold driver, hot passenger seat..
Any help suggested.. I can not shell out that much money for an accuator?
Thanks in advance

timdayii said:okay... some good and some bad news... I finally found where it talks about being able to pull the dash out "whole", but it looks like it is for the 07-08 full size truck and suv's..
