When the a/c is set to 60 degrees cold air blows out but when its at 61 or higher the air is really hot.

I did some searching on here and found one other person having this problem but only found a vauge answer, sensor under the steering wheel. I looked around but didn't really see anything lose. Can someone get me a little more info?

 

it most likely is the sensor. has anyone took that panel under the steering wheel off lately?

 

A friend of mine had this exact problem after having his double din conversion done at a local shop. The wiring harness which plugs into the temp sensor under the panel below the steering wheel was unplugged. You could plug it back in yourself fairly easily. Just pull off that panel and check all the wiring to make sure nothing is snagging and nothing is hanging loose. This is the EXACT problem he had by the way. All your other functions still work right? like fan speed and mode and defrost etc?

 

Yeah everything else works fine. I had it at the dealership just a few days before this started.

Anyone know how to remove the panel?

 

yes take the screws off from under the steering wheel, 4 of them...them pop it down you will see a tube that connects to that panel, reconnect it

 

I have a similar problem in my 08, cant stand that I cant control the actual temp of the air, instead the temp of the car, and if it is 40 degrees outside, then 61 is hot, 60 is cold, i like warm air year round, is that too much to ask?

 

I found a VERY vauge manual that shows one bolt and 4 metal clips holding this in place. Does anyone have tips for removing the clips?

 

its most likely the sensor above the red circle in this image...



to the right on this one...

 

Unfortunately, this is not the problem. Guess I'll just take it to the dealership. I need them to take a look at the driver side window anyways, for some reason it dosen't always wanna work when the button is pushed.

Thanks for your help Jason!!

 

Hrm i've got to check this out on mine. I'm having a similar "issue" atm. . .18 degrees celcius blows nice and cold, half a degree higher and it's HOT!. . .I'll post up whatever I find in a bit. . .
