Hello all,
I have an issue and I will describe it in detail below. I did look through my manual and it doesn't touch on anything I am looking for and searching the web doesn't seem to help since I am apparently not phrasing my issue correctly.
1. I have heat and A/C and the fan runs at all speeds. No Problem there.
2.When I turn the truck on I hear a flap shut as soon as the fan kicks on. This noise from the flap directs it to the floor immediatley.
3. No matter what I switch it to I get Heat and A/C on the floor. I have read that the default if there is a vacuum leak is the defrost position.
With this little bit of information I am assuming that a control arm from perhaps a vacuum motor is disconnected. I took the glove box off and found the vacuum motor near the heater core and it appears to be the inside and outside airflow controller. That is all connected anyway.
Can someone help me find the area of my problem? Pictures would also help immensely. If I can find the part that controls the flap that I hear moving on its' own then I feel I can correct the issue. Sometime when I drive fast enough I can hear a little bit of air through the defrosters like the force of air is pushing against the fans pressure.
Thanks all. I hope someone has some help on this and hopefully someone that has experienced it and was able to fix it.
The truck is a 1998 Ram 1500 Truck, 318 and 4x4 sport edition if that matters. In this case I believe they were all cookie cutter and doesn't with exception of the model year.
Thanks,
Mookie
