Is the compressor engaging under the hood? What are the pressures? Have this checked first and make sure the blend door works that you installed.

SOURCE: 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 air conditioning

It sounds like your electronic vent actuator has gone bad, it's common to go bad and may need to be replaced. There are tinny gears that wear out and the vent actuator stops working. You can try this, turn the radio off first so you don't have to enter the reset code to activate your radio. Disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnect it, if the actuator has lost it's base line and stuck in the open heat position, this will reset it, just make sure the setting is to cold and off before disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. If this does not work, then it's a bad actuator and Auto Zone should have the part you need and will have the step by step instructions for you to the job you self, I believe the dealer is a $415,00 repair cost for this. Good luck and keep me posted.

SOURCE: Heater on driver-side blows barely warm air other vents blow cold

the most probabale cause of this would be a disfunctional hear core if you replace your heater your heater will more than likley work the the way it's supposed to

SOURCE: 2006 dodge ram diesel a/c quit comprssor clutch

I have the same truck with the same exact problem. Mine also stopped blowing while pulling a camper and indeed it is the clutch on the A/C. I was told if you can find someone in your area that can actually rebuild the compressor and not put a new one in you can come out alot cheaper! Also if you crank your truck and turn the A/C on look under the truck on the passenger side at the compressor and take a tool of small hammer and tap the compressor in the middle and it should come on and run the a/c for a little while! I did this until it finally went out and it worked! Might buy you some time!

SOURCE: Does a 2005 Dodge Durango have a cabin air filter?

I don't think they do, but you can check it will be mounted in the blower box behind the glove box if it has one.

I replaced blend doors and all the other doors for my hack unit on my 2003 dodge 2500 still blowing cold air

Recirculation Door Replacement for a 2006 Dodge Ram

1. Check to make sure it is actually your recirculation door. You can check that very easily by undoing the three bolts that attach the fan motor and then unplug it and pull it out. This is the circular looking deal just above the passenger floor board shown here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-ram-tech/327284-just-replaced-the-infamous-recirculation-door-in-30-minutes.html

Airco seems to blow hot air most of the times, but cold occasionally

Seems like the blend door is intermittent,Like you said in some cases it works fine,Either the blend door is intermitent or the cycling switch is intermittent this is located on the filter drier when this pressure switch fails the A/C goes intermittent

Driver side blowing hot air passenger side blowing cold air

I'm having the same problem except on mine it's the driver's side that's blowing cold. Do you have the pictures in a finer resolution? I can't make them out and when I zoom, they are too grainy. Does the replacement require removing the dashboard? What's the general cost of the acuators? Are they readily available at like NAPA or other parts stores?

How to replace a Blend Door Actuator on a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Conversion Ram Van? The air blows out the top, but will not blow out the vents.

Blend door mixes hot and cold, not a distribution control. Look for loose or dislodged vac lines... Heater designed to fail in defrost mode.

2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Turbo Cummins diesel, air conditioning is cold but there is very little air pressure even when turned on high, fan sounds like it is blowing like crazy but very little air movement...

Sounds like the "Blend Doors" are not completely closed (or opened). The Blend Doors open and close to direct the air from the blower motor to the vent selection you have made on the control panel (defrost on windshield, floor, front, etc) You may need to try various selections to see if the blend doors actually open or close. If no changes, it could be a blend door actuator failing.

I have a 2006 Ram 2500 Diesel. My heater quit working. One minute it was blowing hot air, then next it was blowing cold air. Any ideas what this is or how to find out without spending an arm and a leg?

low coolant. disconnected or faulty servo to control difference between hot and cold or the heater core could be clogged. if it warms up when reving the engine then it is probably low coolant.

I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with a cummins diesel that the heating system does not work. It only blows out cold air? I have replaced the thermostat but no improvement. Can you help? CK

I had a 2001 Dodge 3500 with the same issue. In my case, the "air blend door motor" failed. I had it fixed at a Dodge dealership - the motor itself was only about $125 but it cost another $900 for labor - they had to remove the dash & center dash console in order to get to the motor. It did fix the problem though.

I have the same problem. Solve. The passenger side vents on my Dodge ram 2004 deisel blows warm and the driver's side vents blows cold.

Sounds like you have a bad blend door actuator, or a bad control unit. Need to have it checked to find out which it is.
