2009-11-12Raymond H. Benefield10101010YesCandido, thank you very much for the recommendation. I disconnected the battery three times in an effort to get it to work but it still does not work. Air blows hot to the drivers side but only neutral air to the passenger side. I moved the heat control slide back and forth but still doesn't work. I suspect that I will have to buy a part when I'm in the states and have it fixed here in Mexico. Thanks again. You have saved me from a wild goose chase because the local mechanic is the one that said he could fix it so that it would work. Raymond

2009-10-09Ron Pinkalla10101010YesPulled the resistor out and the green coating on it was partially peeled off and another part of it blistered. Replaced the assembly and so far the blower is behaving. Thanks for the help. Ron.....

2009-09-30Frank10101010NoThanks i ordered the control unit today. i talked to a couple of people at work with the same type of vehicle and found that most of them had the same problem and changed out the control unit.
2009-09-26G. Joyce Stark10101010YesThank you so much for directing us to the location of the problem we were dealing with. To have this issue fixed by a dealership was going to cost as much as our 95 Buick is worth, but with your expertise advice we were able to repair the heater/air for a fraction of the cost .... 120.00 compared to 894.00, that is NOT an exageration, it's a fact .... that gives you an idea of fraction of the cost. In this economy, this kind of savings is so valuable. Thank you again and again for your help. Mrs. G. Joyce Stark
2009-09-24Jesse Smith1010910YesThank you very much. I actually had the repair done yesterday and this is exactly what was done, so your advice was 100% correct.
2009-09-23ken10101010Yes 
2009-09-22Rhonda108910Yes 
2009-09-16mike10101010NoIt was the switch contacts..working now and cold..thanks
2009-09-12Tim10101010YesI was surprised by the advice, so I called up my mechanic to check. He confirmed Candido's diagnosis. Saved me lots of time and research and maybe even money on unnecessary repairs. I still wish Toyota would give me an option to override auto AC on defrost, but Candido can't help me there.
2009-09-12Greg S.10101010YesThank you for the extremely rapid response. I don't like the possibility that my truck has something that seems so nominal break so early or even so easily in it's life, but I guess it happens. Thank you Candido, your opinion is much appreciated. Greg.
2009-09-11dave10101010NoThanks, solved.
2009-09-10John10101010YesI appreciate the fast response, but I can't seem to fine anything on the actuator motors in Chiltons. I'll try another resource.
2009-09-08Randy10101010NoCandido, I went right out and purchased a new cycling switch and changed in the parking lot. We head out tomorrow for another leg of our trip. We'll see how it does. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE!
2009-09-05John10101010NoThanks for the answer. That was the issue, I fixed it today.
