Q: A/C not blowing through dash vents
I had my battery changed about two weeks ago and ever since then the a/c won't blow from the dash vents. I've tried recalibration by disconnecting the battery and pulling the HVAC fuses, letting it sit then hooking everything back up. When I turned the car on it went trough it's cycle and for about 15 seconds the air came through the dash, but then it stopped. I was a little disappointed, I thought I was on to something. Could my issue be the actuator?
