yep, yours isnt the only one, if i turn it on to blow air at my face it cycles through all off the settings really fast and just keeps going from the defrost to the dash vents to the floor vents, back and forth. And if i put it on the defrost it blows at my feet, and if i put it on either or the other 2 settings theres no telling where it will come from, its just random on those two.

I also keep blowing out my AC. I got it working again, it worked great for 3 days then blew a fitting somewhere, i heard the hose blow and the air quit working. Any idea on either of these?

hmm, find out how it switches...electronic or mechanical. Sounds electronic, the selenoid may be getting xtra signal and cause it to cycle non stop. I dont see that happening with the simpler wire controled ones.

Time to tear into the dash!
