Help with climate control C5

One more thing I need to fix on my 00 vert. My climate control blows hot air from the drivers side and cold air from the passenger side when I put on the air conditioning. Found a guy who refurbishes them but he say his fix will not correct this problem.

Suggestions please.

I had this issue, in my 98, turned out I had a leak in the AC coolant, however do a search and you'll find a few other issues you may have.

climate control

I am currently working on my 1998 right now. With the enging running, and A/C running I pulled out the #27 fuse in the passenger side floor board, in an attempt to re calibrate the actuators. I too have hot on the drivers side and cold on passenger side. It worked for about 3 minutes and went back to hot. I am stumped but still reading forums!

I didn't know that the actuator could be calibrated. My actuator was replaced and it fixed the problem.

what was the cost of replacing the actuator? Glad you got it fixed.

Several years ago, over $300...it was not on a GM vehicle----I have no idea how much the cost would be for a Corvete.

Sorry, dont have the link but you will find it here with enough searching. You can recalibrate the actuator by pulling a fuse or disconnecting the battery or something like that. It may fix the problem and is worth researching before pulling the whole thing apart or replacing parts.
