get owners manual and haynes book. you'll need both to determine fuse and location

USUALLY A VACUUM LEAK, CAUSES THE AIR TO BLOW THRU THE DEFROSTER VENTS. IF THIS IS TRUE. CHECK THE VACUUM LINES UNDER THE HOOD (USUALLY THIN BLACK PLASTIC OR RUBBER) AND WHERE THEY CONNECT TO THE HVAC CONTROLLER IN THE DASH. LISTEN FOR THE LEAK WHILE THE ENGINE IS IDLING. IF NOT, COULD BE DAMPER DOOR MOTOR STUCK OR INOP. GOOD LUCK!

maybe its just your gauge thats faulty

Hi, first thing to check is the engine thermostat . could the radiator be block, a good back flush could help. good luck.

You need to get an OBD scan to see what code was logged.

I will suggest to check the wire harness from truck. try to take off the rubber grommet close to trunk hinges. then inspect if there is dammage wire but if you can;t find any fault with it, i suggest to disconnect one by one the connector from each door and and obseve the fuse and if the fault still existing check the central locking module for possible water ingress resulting to blown your fuse

get the complete serial # off the back of the radio. the e-mail it to me a [email protected]. I will do my best to get the code and get back with you.the # can be 8-17 digits long with letters mixed in

the throttle body needs cleanin-also inspec other parts of fuel system like IAC,TPS... perform a scan

check glove box manual for fuse location and check. don't run a/c without fan-bad!
