Default Climate control problem

I read the many previous posts....but am still confused if I have the same problem..

Today....while the drivers side control was on 60....and the Passenger side was all the way to the left.....also coldest.... the passenger side was still putting out smoking HOT air!! No matter where I had the passenger control...east...north...west...still screaming hot...

I called corvettes of Houston and they said it may be the individual motor that controls the ???? must have gone bad... estimated $500!!

Anyone else have any Ideas... I just freaking dropped $2k.... 50K service...new brakes....battery..flush...allignment... .etc... and also FR RH headlight wouldn't raise anymore...new motor...actuator...etc.... DAMN....this is all I need.... more $$

1998 Conv... 46K miles....

I just installed a new K&M filter....so I DID disconnect the batt....so as per previous threads...I hope unhooking it and reconnecting may help...

any thoughts....

If you have the automatic A/C controls... With the car running and the A/C on, pull fuses 18 & 27 in the passenger floorboard box. Wait a minute, then put the fuses back in. This should 'recalibrate' the damper motors for you if that's the problem. If you have the manual/single zone A/C system this won't do any good, sorry.

Good Luck! Let us know how it turns out
