87notch Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I searched and read all the posts about heating troubles with the edge. I have an 08 sel without dual climate. The heat is very hot on the passenger side but cold on the driver side. I pulled the panel off under the column and watched the blend door as I turned the temp from cold to hot and back and the blend door actuator is moving the full range of motion. I pulled the actuator off and moved the blend door by hand and nothing changed on the drivers side. I don't mind changing the blend door on either side just would like to hear any ideas of what it might be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 From what I've read, it's either the HVAC control, wiring to actuator, the actuator itself (most common), the linkage, or the blend door. As you have eliminated the actuator, my guess is it's internal (probably a failed door, dealer may have to pull the console). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 If you change to Max A/C, do both sides get cold or just one? Air blowing out equally well from the vents on both sides? I too would lean towards a failed blend door or blocked airways/ducts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87notch Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I don't see it being blocked ducts because the air blows the same volume from both sides, just not hot on drivers side. I manually operated the blend door and the temp never changed on the drivers side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 On a non-dual system, the blend door should affect both sides equally. As you state it's working properly, there is only one other thing that I can think of as the cause: the heater core is blocked on the drivers side. (Allows full airflow through the core, but no heat to pick up). As a test, consider operating the air conditioner and test whether both sides are equally cold. If they are, it's the heater core. If not, it can only be the fuggey babble. (OK, there is no such thing, I'm out of ideas). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87notch Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Bought a new heater core and was in the middle of tearing the whole car down to get it off. I pulled the hoses off the heater core and put a new piece of hose on one side and blew through it and felt like there were no restrictions. Put the water hose to it and it ran out as fast as I put it in. Changed thermostat and started the car and felt under the dash on the inlet/outlet of the heater core and both were ice cold. Eventually it he thermostat opened and just the bottom tube got hot. No heat coming out of any of the vents. Any ideas before it ends up at the scrap yard?

87notch Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 All the blend doors seem to be operating fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) There may be a short in the climate control feedback circuits, or you may need to replace the EMTC altogether if airflow is correct but for temperature. Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) Module and Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) Module Cold Boot Process The purpose of the cold boot process is to allow the EATC or EMTC module to reinitialize. To carry out the cold boot process, follow the steps below. NOTE: EATC only. Clear the DTCs.Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.Disconnect the EATC or EMTC module electrical connectors.Inspect module connectors for: corrosion. pushed-out connectors. incorrectly seated connector. Wait one minute.Connect the EATC or EMTC module electrical connectors.Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.Select any position except OFF on the EATC or EMTC module.The EATC or EMTC module will now initialize. Climate Control Module — Edge Item Part Number Description 1 W505945 Climate control module screw (4 required) 2 19980 Climate control module 3 78042K50 Climate control module spacer (2 required) Removal and Installation Remove the center instrument panel finish panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501-12 .Remove the 4 climate control module screws.Remove the climate control module. NOTE: Be sure the climate control module spacers are correctly positioned before installing the climate control module. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
