'03 2500 HVAC System (Long, but I need some help)

From : fmb

Q: i dont know how different the dash is on a 2500 but on my 03 1500 the pivot shaft on the door broke and they had to remove the dash evac the a/c and coolant and remove the hvac box to repair it. im glad it was under warranty. hd the trouble started about a week ago. symptoms are as follows; 1. blended air seems to work fine hot when i want it hot and cooler when i move the levers to cooler. dual climate controls 2. floor vent seems to work fine but i thought it used to blow more. 3. dash vents barely blow at all. 4. defrost flows nothing. 5. no noticible differance when hitting the recirc button. all of those above are with the changing of the switch to the correct position and waiting a bit for the doors to operate. so thinks i lets check the defrost door actuator and the panel actuator. i pull the actuators and measure 150 ohms across the terminals. i manually move the doors to see they are not stuck. i reconnect the wires but dont mount the actuators. i pull the plug out of the back of the panel switch and plug it back in. i reconnect the battery and put the key on. i move the switch and watch the output shaft driver of the actuators. they dont move for several second 10-15 then i tried to move one and they both begin moving on their own. seems to have been stuck or maybe i didnt wait long enough i replace the actuators on their respective shafts and try the tests as above. i get the same results low or no flow of air. you know i dont hear the recirc door slamming into position anymore. i can see through the recirculation door assembly and i can watch the rda actuator turn something inside but my eyes are not as good as they used to be so it takes a min of back and forth before i realize there is a door missing and something that looks like a broken plastic shaft. i fish around with my fingers a talent refined elsewhere and feel the door laying flat blocking the downward flow of air. i moved it up to where i can see where it broke off the shaft. crap! that grill does not seem removable to allow access to the door. the rda comes apart with 4 screws two of which im thinking are situated so you must tear the whole truck apart to get to them. ok all that for this. is there any way to pull that busted door out and place in a new one without pulling the whole dash out which includes pulling the steering column fmb only one b in fmb .

fmbb@sbcglobal.net says... heres my idea of how death row should be........... 2 rows of cells. 25 on each side. a big spinning wheel with the numbers 1 to 50 on it. every hour the wheel get a big spin. if your number comes up........ you lose. as the cell becomes available.... a new player enters the game. since there seems to be no shortage of players.... the game can run 24/7 the wheel of misfortune the reaper death is not a game. let the person be inocent until such time he is found not guilty or guilty. place time limits on appeals and force the upper courts to make room for these appeals on a timely basis. give them one appeal to the state supreme court and one to the us supreme court. give them 6 months to place the appeal and give the courts 2 months to hear the appeal and a max of 30 days between hearing the appeal and giving their opinion. that is 9 months maximum at the state level and 9 months at the federal level. i dont think the govenor should have an opportunity to do anything but watch the process. williams would have been dead almost 20 years by now. my 2 cents worth. fmb only one b in fmb and what about people who are wrongly convicted sometimes it takes 15- 20 years to prove them innocent. of course if the police and prosecutors would do their jobs correctly this would very seldom happen. but you know it has. i dont really care about tookie he did enough stuff to get offed for anyway but you see constantly on tv some stories about some poor bastard who is proven innocent 10-15-20 years after conviction and usually a couple of years of that time is caused by prosecutors dragging their feet or sometimes fighting a dna test. if they are sure of the persons guilt why fight it thats not taking into account the actual times the police frame people and the da hides evidence that clears them. theres a local guy here who was sent up for murdering his girlfriend mostly due to the obviously coached testimony of his 3 year old son. after fighting for years and his grandmother protesting daily at the courthouse he got a dna test and like he claimed all along it wasnt him. the da isnt getting go completely as they still refuse to totally clear him saying we arent sure he wasnt involved somehow. they took 14 years away from him he lost everything his son is brainwashed and hates him his health is shot and they dont want to give him any cash for his trouble.. some justice! bdk .
