My 1998 Park avenue only blows hot air to the passenger side. I understand it has dual climate control.
This summer I simply bypassed the heater hoses under the hood as I only wanted cold air anyway, the a/c blows ice cold btw.
From what I can gather it seems there are blenders and actuators that blends air to reach the settings on the climate control, and the one that controls the passenger side is stuck on hot. It only blows full heat btw.
I've had a look on google and it seems a major job (dash out) to get to the blenders. Anyone done this, and how big a job is it?

Roger.

Replacing an airmix actuator on a Bonneville can be done without removing the dash. I'm not sure if you PA is configured the same as a Bonneville though. Check the tech info section for info on the Bonneville process then see if your PA looks similar.

Thanks Sirius. I tried to have a look but couldn't view the images. Do I need an app to download them?

Pics wouldn't show for me either. Link is probably broken. Bummer, those were actually for the Park Avenue!
