Greetings everyone,
Yes, I am confident that the blend door actuator in my 1998 Town Car has bit the dust. I am only getting hot air and have heard the tell tale sounds emanating from behind the dash. I live in Florida so heat isn't much of an issue, but cold air is. I will replace the actuator at some point, but to solve the issue quickly I have heard that I could disconnect the heater hoses from the core, basically at the fire wall, and join them together simply creating a loop bypassing core. I was told the A/C would continue to work by doing this.
I know it isn't the best solution, but I am very short on time for the next few weeks and the "quick fix" seems like a short term solution.
Any thoughts or insight as to possible damage or if this would indeed work?
Blessings,
