Not sure if this is a common issue im having on my 04 Z71 or not, sometimes when im driving and have the AC on out of nowhere heat will start blowing. One time i had a passenger with me and he said it felt like it was still blowing AC from the second row vents and pass side but it was deff blowing heat from the front. When this happens i can shut the truck off and restart it and it will be back to blowing AC again.

Any idea what would cause this ? My guess was the climate controll unit but i figured i would ask here before i just start throwing parts at it.

Thanks

Blend door actuators are known to fail in these vehicles. My guess is that is what you are dealing with.

Do you know the location for the drivers side actuator ? Is it the one under the dash around the ashtray area ?
