A/C Question
2000 Coupe - 58K on the clock.
A/C on drivers side doesn't get cold as fast as passenger side - and although it does get cold eventually it's never as cold as passenger side. dual climate control set straight up for passenger side. i am not showing any HVAC codes at all.
i have done some research on here and found a couple of really great threads - http://vette.tnreeds.com/actuator/actuator.htm
and http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1465931
both of which tell me that if i'm not getting the codes B0441 and B0361 then i don't have an actuator problem.
so i asked the stealership about it today and they said definitely an actuator - price for them to fix it: $900 of which $600+ is labor!
i'm thinking it's as simple as recharging the freon.
any ideas?
take it easy,
jeff

AC Problem
Hi, if you set the driver side to 60, that disables the pass side from any action and locks both sides at max cold. So both sides should be equal at that setting. If the dr side is not as cold it could be the charge is low. I would do the fuse #27 recalibrate and see if that fixes it.(ignition off, pull fuse #27 from the ip fuse block, wait the entire 60 seconds at least, replace fuse and listen for the actuators opening and closing to recalibrate). If not I would check the charge level. If the charge level is good and the actuators won't recalibrate, then you probably need new ones.
Good Luck
