Hey guys, on my way to get my son from school, I noticed my air wasn't blowing that hard. I figured out that even with the recirculation button on, the sound/pitch of my air didn't change. There was no noticeable difference between off and on.
If i turned truck off, and just used accessory power, and turned the fan speed all the way down, I could faintly hear the actuator trying to do something when I turned the recirc on and off, but it wasn't loud, and it didn't sound like it had a lot of oomph.
When I got home, i left the recirc button ON, and went outside of the truck and heard and felt fresh air coming in from the cowl area, so now I am pretty positive that the actuator isn't doing it's job.
I did some research, and found a lot of repair info on the hot/cold blend door, but not the air recirculation actuator replacement.
I also found a lot of info about broken doors, but I don't have any noise in my blower motor where a piece would have fallen. I wont know what's going on until I pull out the blower motor and investigate more, but I wanted to know what I was getting into if I needed to replace that actuator. Is this a dash out scenario? Anyone tackled this before?
