Where is the HVAC switch on a Dodge Ram 1500?

If you have vacuum at that line inside the engine bay, then check the HVAC switch at the dash.

It is not an electronic switch – it is a simple vacuum port switch.

Why does my Dodge Ram 1500 have no heat?

Either your heater core is blocked and isn’t flowing coolant anymore, or your blend door is also messed up. The blend door itself is not driven by vacuum lines – this one is driven by an electronic servo motor. The servo coupler is a cheap plastic piece of shit that gets broken over time. This is the weakest link in the blend door system.

This truck has a little over 92,000 miles and never even been on any long trips.The dash cracked and had to be replaced, Dodge did pay for the parts but we had to pay for the labor. I think the year 2001 was a bad one for Dodge trucks.There is a sloshing noise from the radiator, I had it flushed and it went away for a while but it is back again.

Is there an issue with the a / C on a Dodge Ram?

I am having an issue with the temperature control settings. It either blows full cold or full hot no matter what position the switch is in. A/C works great, heat works great, just nothing in between.

Why does my Dodge Ram run at all times?

The AC system is designed to run at all times to regulate system pressure and lubrication. The AC should be locked on when the selector is in MAX AC setting. Any other time it should kick on and off. You will also notice that the AC will run more frequently on the defrost setting. Took me a while to get back here, but thanks for the info.
