Question
Hi

When I engage the Air Conditioning, I get semi-cool air from the center vents, but the dash and/or the floor vents (depending which setting) blow hot hot air! It's bizzare.

I have a wrecked 84 SD as well (From which I harvested the 79K mile engine and transmission I currently use as well as endless other parts) and am hoping I can find the parts I need to fix this problem there. I was hoping you could help me cut off the hot air or even better, help me get cool air moving through all the vents!

Thanks for your time and and your help.


Luke


Answer
Answer:

Best guess:

#1. The mono valve diaphragm is bad.

#2. The mono valve coil is getting no power, 12V = full closed valve.
