Is it true that on auto setting there is no air blowing out of the center vents? It happened to me this morning with my 2016 GTI.

Civic - Honda :: 2008 - At Coolest Settings Vents Are Blowing Warm Air
History: A few months back I had a leak repaired in my cooling system. I noticed the other night that my radiator was nearly empty again, so I've filled it back up, but haven't fixed it yet.
As summer is over, I no longer need my AC. However that caused me to notice that at its coolest setting, the vents are blowing warm air (maybe 15ยบ warmer than outside) and that seems high to me.
My immediate thought is that the heater control valve may be leaking/damaged/corroded.
Corolla :: 2010 - Center Vents Not Blowing Air
I recently purchased a 2010 Toyota Corolla. Over all good car and in pretty decent shape. The Only only issue I've found with it is the two center air vents are not blowing, nor does the a/c knob change the air flow. For example regardless of what air setting I have it on it's always the two foot vents and the outer door vents blowing. Granted the air temp is fine. It responds to whatever temp I want it and it gets plenty cold.

4.0 v6 A/c works great at first. Then after a while stops blowing out the center dash vents. What to check? Still blows cold out the vents by each front door...

So I replaced my big fan today. Everyone knows that the factory fans are notorious for going out. After replacing the fan, I turn the car on and noticed that both fans were on... and never turned off. So I turned the car off, and turned the car over again. and they still were constantly running. I messed with the climatronic controls and when I have the settings on auto the fans are constantly running, when I have it on econ, they don't run. And when its on neither, the fans are constantly on unless I turn it off. Before replacing the fan, I replaced both the FCM, CTS, and the fan switch. Its becoming pretty frustrating. I supposed it could act as my own switch for the fans, hahaha. I've searched and havent found anything like this. Hopefully its something small

Are there any settings within the Vag-com to automatically unlock the doors when you shut the car off? They automatically lock, so surely you can make them unlock?
View 3 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Whirring Noise Coming From Center Vents / Console
About a week ago I noticed this weird noise that sounds like it's coming from inside of the center vents area/console.
The noise definitely only occurs when moving, or at least it seems that way. At idle there is no sound. The sound seems to get a little louder the faster I go.
It's kind of a "whirring" sound. It's not really loud and if someone that had never been in the car were driving they probably wouldn't even notice it. It almost sounds as if I have the heating/ac fan turned up high but I don't. The sound appears even if I have the heat/ac fan off.The heat/ac works fine.
It may have nothing to do with the heat/ac but I'm wondering if something could have got stuck in the vents from outside?
Golf VI R :: AC Stops Blowing Out Of The Vents During Long Drive
I did a 9 hour drive last week and partway thru the trip the AC stops blowing out of the vents. No combination of punching buttons on the AC system solved the problem, although manually increasing the fan speed caused something behind the glove box to make a LOUD sound of rushing air (still nothing out of vents though). Finally I turned off the system completely for over an hour and then it magically started working again. I assume something in the system froze and had to thaw out. The exterior temp was low (mid-60s) but it was raining and the AC was keeping the windows un-fogged.

This morning my AC was working just fine, air blew cold and nothing seemed wrong. But then tonight when I went out it was cold outside so I decided to turn the heat on.. That's when a problem happened. Tried turning the AC on but no air came out the vents at all. Tried all the air settings, nothing at all, even when it's on "4". The only thing that seems to work is the re-cycilation button, it lights up and I can hear it working. So to sum it up, no air coming out the vents and the AC light won't turn on when I push it in.

In vehicle settings, there is auto relock feature, i set it up to 60 seconds, the guy who did a walk through with us said, if we leave the car unlocked for 60 seconds it will automatically relock itself. Left the car in the garage for about 5 minutes and still didnt unlock. Is auto relock supposed to relock the car when we walk away?
View 9 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Headlights And DRLs Always On, Even On Auto Settings
I have a 3rd gen Prius (registered in late 2009, but technically a 2010 model), with European "Premium" package including HID low beams and LED daytime running lights. The car has "auto" setting for lights, so I think it should be able to automatically turn on low beams in dark. At least dashboard lighting and the touch & go screen automatically dim, so there must be a sensor (the black dot in last photo, I think).
The problem is that low beams are always on (except in "parking lights only" mode). There is no difference between "auto" and "headlights on" setting. My guess is that this is because of the Nordic legislation requiring headlights being always turned on before 2010 (after 2010 daytime running lights were required/permitted in EU). Whether this behaviour can be changed through OBD programming? It really bothers me to run HIDs on daytime, because in the end all the extra energy is coming from fuel, and also because they have limited lifetime (and probably expensive to replace).
Prius (Gen 2) :: A/C Blowing Warm And Middle Vents Not Blowing Any Air?
I've recently purchased a 2007 Prius and I just noticed few days go that A/C blows warm air (weather was fair when I bought it and I can't remember if it really worked or not then) and middle vents do not blow any air. I'm not sure if two problems are connected but I do want to get both fixed without spending $$$ at the dealership. Where can I start?
View 5 RepliesFord A/C :: 2000 - Air Comes Out Of Vents But All Panel Air Regardless Of Temp Or Control Settings
Bought my truck (2000 F150, Manual, V6) used with 135k on it. In 3 months I've put 10k more on it and am starting to run into a weird A/C problem.
Driving to one of my clients, everything was working fine. When I left there was no A/C. I checked coolant, fuses, etc with no luck. We had a bit of a cold-snap and I also found out my heater didnt work. Air comes out of the vents, but it's all panel air, regardless of temp or control settings.
Took it to a mechanic who said the high-pressure switch was dirty, he cleaned it and the A/C worked at the shop. The moment I left the exact same problems started happening again. It's been back to the same mechanic, and today he tells me that the a/c clutch is drawing to many amps and shorting it out, at which point the PCM tells it to goto hell. He can get it working by resetting the computer, however, the moment I put it in gear it stops working (a/c, heat, all of it). He was able to put power directly to it and it run with no problems.
To me (very little mechanical knowledge) it seems like power, or the condensor. The mechanic said that the heat going out isn't related at all, which makes no sense to me because it's happened there in his shop where the heat will only work if the a/c works. Hes telling me I need either a new clutch or a new compressor altogether. Quoted me 300 and 1000 for each respectively.
Side-Note: The morning of the day when the a/c initially broke, my car turned off suddenly while driving. I was in gear and driving down the road like normal. I popped the clutch, turned the key and it started right back up. Also, cruise control seems to have stopped working and the eft blinker. If i hold the lever down (like push an extra 2cm) it comes on and works. It is sporadic.
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Changing Settings For Auto Mode For Lights?
Possible to change the setting for the auto mode for the headlight to come on when it gets dark? I've always thought that they don't come on soon enough, particularly in heavy rain or towards sunset when I see many other cars with headlights on.
Couldn't find a section in the manual, but wondered if there was any undocumented tweak I could perform to get the lights to come on sooner so I can leave in in auto mode and not worry about it.
Avalon 2005-12 :: 2011 - AC Come On In Cold Weather / Auto Settings On Thermostat
I have a 2011 Avalon Limited and live in the Dallas area. Are used the auto setting on my thermostat all the time. I noticed that in cold weather, the AC almost always switches on as part of the thermostat function. I don't understand that. For example, its 30 degrees outside, & I select Auto and set the temperature to 70 degrees, and the green AC light goes on. I want to avoid using more gas than I need to use, so I'm wondering why this might be so. It's a simple matter to simply press the AC and turn it off, but I'm wondering why it goes on in the first place.
View 1 RepliesCamry :: Sensitivity Settings - Headlights Coming On Auto And Turn Off Quickly
I finally got my hands on tech stream cable and software and turned off DRL today. I also adjusted light sensitivity setting from normal to light 2. What i was trying to accomplish is to have faster respond of headlights coming on Auto and turning off quickly once it become light again if for example I am going through a tunnel.
I was in the mall today and headlights came on when i enter the garage. When i was leaving it was still light outside and yet even after 1 minute being outside of the cover garage the headlight would not turn off. I finally put it on DRL off and then back on auto and headlight stayed off.
Did i change the wrong setting? Is the result of me putting on light 2 means that while it will come on quicker in dark situation it will take longer to turn off?
Ford A/C :: Super Hot Air Blowing Except When On Max Settings
Drove about 30 minutes to a wedding yesterday and A/C was working perfectly. Truck sat about 4 hours and was cool out when I started it to make the 30 minute drive back so I cranked the heat wide open until the cab warmed slightly.
Once it warmed a little I turned the setting back towards the cooler setting but the air just kept getting hotter. The only way I could stop the air from blowing out hot like it was set on max heat was to set the control on max a/c, all other settings blow max heat!
Oh, by the way, my truck is a 2006 F-350 XLT diesel CC 4x4 auto with the FX4 package
Ford A/C :: Cold Air Only On Max Settings Otherwise Blowing Hot
Suddenly yesterday, my AC was blowing hot air on every setting except for Max AC. When on Max AC, then heater control valve closes but with just AC, it opens back up. for floor, defrost, etc. seems to work just fine, but it blows engine hot air at those places except for Max AC.
It seems as though the temperature control is stuck in hot or quit working all together, AND (I'm guessing here) that Max AC overrides the temperature control? That's the only thing that make sense to me.

My 2008 Elantra blows cold air, but just not as hard as it used to. At max setting, it's not blowing hard enough.
Also, my steering wheel starts to shake pretty bad going 70+ mph. What could be the problem for this?
I don't know the first thing about cars!
Ford A/C :: 1999 F250 - No Heat On Any Settings / Just Cold Air Blowing
99 f250 4x4 7.3 superduty has no heat. A/c seems to work ok had similar problem last year and replaced heat control switch in dash. Same thing this year, a/c works fine but no heat when turned to red or heat setting. Blower works fine just blows cold air. What may be sticking? Getting cold in MD and (excuse me but) Johnson goes full turtle on my morning ride to work.
