A/C Woes

Do you hear the flaps move at all when you move the control?

If you turn the temperature to hot, does it get hotter?

Since I got the car back, I do not hear the flaps move. I assumed it is quiet because of the new foam installed.

As for does it get hotter, yes it does when you move the heat/cool knob.

SO, you feel air.. it is just not cold. I am wondering if the temperature flap is not closing all the way..

Also, does the low side line get cold? with the AC on, is the receiver/dryer (front passenger wheel well) get cold?

Yes, I feel air, and it is not cold at all. Felt like the heat was on the other day.

I will test it this weekend, but as far as I remember the receiver/dryer gets moisture all around it and drips onto the floor.

then the problem has to be with the flaps. Either the actuators are not working properly, or there is some internal leak.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/ways in which I could test the actuators are working properly?

Check it with a hand pump vacuum. Move the knob, and see if the actuators are moving. May have to pull the center console to get access
