2003 Nissan Sentra Repair Question


Topics covered: Door, Door lock, Heater.
Mileage: 150,000 miles.

A/c vent doors

It seems as though the a/c system is working correctly however i suspect that the doors that direct air to the vents are stuck on the heater core side instead of the a/c evap coer side. If this is possible to occur, what must i do to repair it?

This one uses a cable for that. The cable may be off or broken.

Wrenchtech, thanks...I really appreciate that. I just wanted to make certain that was correct because here it says otherwise: http://www.justanswer.com/nissan/4hbz6-nissan-datsun-sentra-gxe-heater-sometimes-heat-sometimes.html

I guess that's for a different model huh?

Wrenchtech, thanks...I really appreciate it. I was just confused as to which one I have because on another forum a tech said it was electronically actuated via a motor. Mine has manual door locks and windows so it makes sence that it also has manual a/c controls.

That car has a problem with a temperature door. You have a problem with mode doors. Different parts.
