I have a built Jeep, but the wifey drives the 2005 GMC Yukon Denali AWD. The A/C has the automatic climate control, with the dual control system (which is as stupid as a "peeing" section of a public pool).
After about 30 seconds of nice cold air, the damn thing goes full hot, full blast. The rear AC continues to blow cold, and they both battle it out at full blast unless you turn the fan down on the front and just live on the rear AC (which sucks in Houston). It did this about six months ago, but disconnecting the battery for a few minutes fixed it. Now, it is constant and won't correct itself.
The interwebs have mixed results. People pulling their dash, replacing actuators, replacing the control unit, body control module, replacing the ambient air temperature sensor; all sorts of things with no clear answer (most posts started with "I replaced my ________, and it didn't fix the problem".)
I was planning on taking this vehicle on an out of town trip for the holiday next week, but not if it is going to run the heater on full blast the whole way. Anyone have any ideas on the actual source of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Also, there was a small pump sound coming from the drivers side center console that seems to have stopped at the same time. The sound seemed to be a "squeka-squeeka" sound, cycling about once a second. It looks like a small air port is in the console (right next to the drivers right knee). Opinions?
