Hello all, need help trying to figure how to fix this issue. The dealer gave me the run around when I was under warranty and now out of warranty and they refuse to fix issue now.
Truck is a 2012 Ram 1500 sport...did have extended warranty. But, over now.
My temperature in my truck worked great when I bought it brand new, last year I noticed when I had the temperature all the way hot and would get to hot in the cab I would turn the temperature down to about half way between the blue and red so would lower temperature coming from vents it would still be very hot, like it was when all the way up. Only way to get it cool was to put all the way to blue and then back to a about mid way between blue and red or even little more to red. Then the truck would be blowing more warm then hot. But, this would only happen once in a while. Took to dealer and they said couldnt find the problem, but the truck was not doing it that day. They said bring back when doing it, I did and they said they were to busy and I would have to make another appointment. I explained they said to bring back when it was doing it, they said make an appointment. And of course warranty is now over and truck is doing it more and more. I took it in and they said now that warranty is up they can't cover it.
But, now the truck is doing it more and more, still works fine once in a while but the issue is now more constant. I want to get this fixed and refuse to give the dealer any money for this and hope to fix it myself.
Any ideas what the issue is? The dial itself? I have read something about blend door, but would that be it. Not sure why the issue would be once in a while.
Also, if the heat dial is not all the way to full right, all the way red, if it is say half way it just blows cool air not warm air, I have to put it full hot, then back to almost full blue then can put back to mid red for warm air.
