HVAC help
Had to replace the battery last night, see my thread on this. This morning, on the way to work, the HVAC system was acting funny. Blowing cool air on my side, warmer air on passenger side, fan not running correctly. When I tried to turn the fan up manually, it wouldn't respond. Finally it did, but soon as I tried to change the setting from, say lower to upper, it quit running high and went to blowing on the lowest setting. Also, it wouldn't change positions correctly.
I pulled the DIC HVAC codes, B0361 HC, B0363 H. Left actuator short to ground, and left actuator open.
Might this have been caused by having to pour water down and through the battery tray to wash the acid from the tray? I'm thinking it got good and wet and is just going to have to dry out. Am I on the right track or no? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I can't answer your question but hopefully this bump helps.
My HVAC is screwed up right now too but it is more of an issue with the display. I have a used one coming but it is stuck in customs...and has been for over a week
Good luck with the fix

That doesn't sound good. Acid damaging the HVAC lines below the tray has caused those problems before.
I have to go to work now but do a search for battery damage and HVAC problems. there are quite a few threads out there that cover this problem.
Hope its not too bad.
