2008 sierra blows hot air when on cold

When I switch the heat/cold control to cold, the door will switch back to hot on its own. Sometimes it will stay cold for a while, then switch, even when not moving. I thought that maybe something could be blocking the door, but it is so random. I have tried different control and different switching motor. This new motor has been better, but stil is doing the same thing, just less often than the old one, and will stay on the cold for longer runs than the old motor. The old motor I think went completely bad because of triing to switch it so many times.

if you are sure that your heater core is not restricted. then try to recalibrate the climate control panel. if your a/c system is not working then DO NOT ATTEMPT THE RECALIBRATION it will make your lights on climate control panel flash codes forever.
to reclaibrate the climate control panel just have the engine running. turn the mode to vent, the temp to cold, the blower on high, then press and hold the rear wiper wash and wiper buttons at the same time until the panel lights up then wait about 2 minutes for it to run completly when completed. turn off ignition and then restart the engine try to se if you have heat again. if it doesntwork post the codes it gives you after the calibration test.

SOURCE: AC/heater vent only blow out hot air

that switch controls a vacuum operated door that lets a/c or heat thru.when accelerating,the vacuum in the engine changes so it sound like a vacuum issue.take apart the center stack and there is a vacuum actuator in there connected to the flap door .i have seen those have issues with the metal tab broken away from the plastic that moves it.is the a/c piping cold under the hood where it goes into the heater a/c assembly?the compressor should be cycling on and off and the pressure tested.

. Open the gloves compartment (gc) . remove 2 rubber pieces that keep the gc on its place (both sides) . look to the left side. there is a connector with a few thin colored hoses. This thin hoses are there to control the operation of the blend air door. It is vacuum operated. . now follow the thinnest hose, probably it is green, all the way to the right. It connects in a sort of vacuum valve that control the position of the blend air door. make sure it is firmly attached to it. also check that hoses connector to ensure that all thin hoses are well connected. . OK! start the motor and operate the knob on the panel. It should work fine now.

My 2008 Suzuki SX4 doesn't blow out any hot or cold air. You can feel heat slowly come out of the vents when I turn the heat on. How can I fix this?

Do you hear the blower motor working? If yes,then there is a problem with the HVAC door assembly. Maybe a mode control switch. If no, then the fault is in the blower motor/wiring/switch, fuses. I would start with the fuses first, go from there

1999 chevy silverado heater fan only blows cold air , both coolant lines in are hot

I like that you were knowledgeable to check both coolant lines tells me you are getting hot coolant through the heater core next thing to check will be the blend door on the inside of your vehicle. The blend door is a door that switches from cold air duct to heater duct depending on what you are using at the time. If it is stuck on the cold air duct you will not get any heat sometimes these doors are vacuum actuated and sometimes they are electrically actuated most the time you are able to see the movement of the motor from inside if you don't see any movement but you hear it move chances are it is the door blend I hope this helps.

2005 GMC blows only cold air on drivers side

Sometimes the blend air door actuators get stuck. You can usually free them by "cycling" the temperature control. For instance, If you have the control on HOT but you are getting cold air, turn the control to COLD and wait about one minute, then turn it back HOT. If this does not work, then you probably have a bad actuator on that side.

Fortunately, the driver's side actuator is pretty easy to replace. Just look up under the dash on the driver's side. The actuator is attached to the bottom of the air box. You will have to remove the lower trim pnels to see it. (See #9 in the Picture)

HEATING PROBLEMS

Need more information. The most important thing would be to watch the heater water valve move when someone turns the control from hot to cold, back and forth?
Heater valve controls tend to be operated by vacuum, and switched by a heater computer. Lots of possibilities. But first tell us what you see move when operated? Valve is usually in engine compartment, in the heater hose. Follow the hot one.

I have no heat in the cab but the heater core is hot all the vac line work it will blow some what warm air but when you move the temp switch to colder it gets cold

sounds like your blend door is getting stuck or is broken. That controls the hot air or cold air distribution. You have to get under your dash and have someone move the switch and see if you can tell if it's tryng to move or if there are any obstructions...such as stereo wires ect..
