Dodge Durango A/C and Heater Controls
The Dodge Durango is a mid-size SUV that began production in the year 1998, and in 2004, Dodge made the Durango into a full-size SUV that you can drive anywhere. Taking a vehicle this large on the road requires you to have a heating and cooling unit in the SUV that is adequate enough for both the front and the back of the unit. If your climate control unit is not functioning properly, you may need to replace parts like the Dodge Durango A/C and heater controls.
What features are common on most Dodge climate control units?The climate controls that you find on this SUV are designed with a push button display that allows you to choose which vent or vents that the air is being released from; some aftermarket control panels also have knobs that you can turn. There is also a button that turns on the rear defroster so that you can melt the ice and snow from your back windshield with ease, one that can be used to adjust the amount of heat or air that is being released from the vents, and one that determines how warm the air is that is being blown into the SUV.
Why is there no heat with the heater control on?When the temperature controls in your Dodge Durango are no longer warming your vehicle like they should be, one of the parts may no longer work properly. It could be as simple as the temperature control knob not connecting to the circuit board that sets the temperature in the Dodge Durango, which can easily be remedied with a new climate control unit.
Are there rear temperature controls in a Durango?There is a rear control option for the SUV, but for it to be accessible by the passengers in the second row of seating, you will need to have the rear temperature controls enabled on the front control panel. Once the controls are enabled, the passengers in the back of the SUV will be able to control the amount of air that is coming from the vents near them as well as the temperature of the air that is being released. There is also an option that allows you to turn off the air in the back of the Dodge completely.
What are the different aftermarket vent settings?Aftermarket A/C and heating controls offer a push-button display that clearly differentiates between whether the air is coming out of the foot-well vent, the face vent, or the demister vent, which is needed to defrost the windshield when the temperatures are below freezing. There is also an option you can choose that sends the air out of the face and foot-well vent or the foot-well vent and the defrosters as well.
