Dang! Seems as if anyone who leaves their AC knob a few clicks away from the cold setting... it is still bound to happen at one point or another...

I remember a forum member that was a service tech for chevy saying no matter where you leave the heat setting it still goes through the close cycle. i wonder what happened to that guy? he was a wealth of knowledge.

Thing is, I'm willing to bet he doesn't actually have a bad blend door and instead his port leaked all the freon out which would make all the work for doing the bypass pointless since all he would have to do is replace the port and refill the freon.

Yes I remember. What is the average cost these days to correct this and refill with freon? I know R12 is no longer in use and they now use the 134A.

After you mentioned it, I'm starting to think the same with everything I have read so far on this issue.

That is why every time I see a post about a possible blend door failure now, that is the first thing I tell them to check. The port going bad has been acknowledged by GM as an issue that requires yearly inspection and constant replacement and exhibits the exact same symptoms as the blend door. |

Update: Was off work the past three days and got a lot done with the Camaro. Was able to bring the car into a local shop today for AC service and they found that there was no freon and it was bone dry. They refilled it and it is running normal now with cold air coming through. However, they added a dye and if I run out again they will be able to see where the leak is coming in from. So for now all is good and there are no issues with the blend door at the moment

What do you mean? My heat has been working fine all this time, it was my AC that quit blowing cold air. Both are functioning normal as of now.

You don't need to wait at all to find the leak (if it was empty to start with you have a leak). The dye that is used is fluorescent dye. If you have a black light, you can check right now and find the leak. The system is under constant pressure and will leak all the time, not just when in use.

I believe it finally happened... AC blend door??
Quote:
I knew I still had a leak but was just a matter of time before it happened again. They hooked it up and let it run for 15 mins or so and so far couldn't detect a leak. They told me to come back if it happens again and they will fix it. And you weren't kidding... looks like all of my freon got dumped again and there is none left. Ha! Looks like a trip back to the shop. Btw i’ll pick up a black light from Harbor Freight on the way home from work and have a look see at where the leak is coming from. I won’t be able to take it back to the shop till next week Tuesday anyhow.
