Hello Forum,
I just replaced the air temperature actuator for the 2nd time in my 2014 Rubicon. Both times the actuator was skipping gears, making that grinding noise. After replacing this last time seemed everything was working as expected for several days. Now I am having the air pegged on hot when first starting up the jeep in the morning, and this lasts anywhere from 10 - 30 minutes. Changing the temperature adjustment knob has no effect on the temp.
I remember this happening after replacing the actuator the first time, however it would only blow hot/warm air for 2-3 minutes and then normal control was available.
Is there a calibration required after changing the actuator? I seem to recall it would self calibrate. Or is it possible something else might be going on, such as the logic in the controller going berserk?
Although it's middle October in Texas, we still need AC! I appreciate anyone's knowledge on this issue.
Best Regards,
Chuck
