I can't find anything helpful, just led problems or heater core problems....

Heater blows just fine, however none of the buttons will change it from floor to defrost etc. , it just blows with no direction. I'm seriously in need of a defrost i'm tired of wiping my windshield with my sleeve lol

I just got another hvac off ebay, and still no change. so I either got ripped off, or I replaced the wrong part....

any help is super appreciated. tia...

Sounds like the mode motor/actuator or the air/mix motor/actuator

Mode actuator: 27731-70F00air/mix actuator: 27732-70F00

U dont need another HVAC control unit, that wouldnt affect which doors and actuators open or close on the heating unit. U need an actuator, or the heating unit has a broken arm on an actuator, but the HVAC control unit is not the problem...

awesome info. looks like I ordered the mode actuator and it made no difference so I'll order the air/mix actuator....I'll update the post when I getthe part in, maybe it'll help others...
