Apparently people didn’t actually listen to what you were saying in this video, because you clearly point out how the sensor replacement doesn’t work for everyone. I’m one of the ones who it hasn’t worked for, and I’m lost at this point. This video is a great alternative for me at this point.

My pleasure! I was so fed up with not being able to get the inside air to work. Once I found a video on where the door was, I decided to go with the manual push rod. Now the AC always comes on when I turn the fan on, but I don't care. At least I can choose what air I want :-)

Bro I love the idea of the manual circulation For the dodge charger, my family and i have been struggling with outside air for arou g 3 years now and I did it to our car and OMG!!! IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE INSIDE AIR!!!! Thanks for ur idea. I loved it!

Glad I could help! Other than a few stupid designs in the car, I really like it. Apparently Chrysler (Stalantis) is discontinuing V-8 engines, so I'm gonna hang on to this car as long as I can. I'll replace the engine when it dies 😋

The recirculating air usually doesn't work if you have the defroster mode on, on most vehicles. If this is happening on all other settings, then there is a problem with that for sure. Nifty fix you did there.

@saltyshellback Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I read several bulletins and community threads about this issue and even watched a few youtube videos. The common problem seemed to be the humidity sensor going bad and no matter the settings you couldn't get the inside air to engage. People have said that even after replacing the $60+ sensor, it still would not get the inside air to work. I tried looking for a schematic to jump the wires on the sensor, but couldn't find any. People have said that they tried jumping the connectors and blew fuses, so I avoided that😄

@@MPOWER-zg2kc Sorry for the late response. KZbin didn't send me a notification of your comment. What I think happens when you push the recirc button is that the sensor measures what the current humidity is in the car and if it is below a certain level, it will then close the blend door. But if it is above a certain level, it will leave the blend door open with the AC on to remove the humidity. The problem is if the sensor is broke, it just leaves the blend door open as a "safety" precaution. I've had cars with manual air blend doors and never had an issue with humidity. That's why I just bypassed the automatic feature.

@@Bohhundo Glad it helped! My next mod is to put a manual switch for the heater core door. If I change the temperature setting off of "Lo," it opens up the heater core door all the way and blows painfully hot air even with the AC on.

Great video and amazing work there! The only issue with that is your ac compressor will be turning on automatically even when you have it off because it still take its commands from the humidity sensor. Therefore youll have a continuously running ac even when you don’t need it. Thoughts?

@saltyshellback Жыл бұрын

I don't mind having the AC on all the time. I just want to be able to close the air door when I want ;-)

Might just be the humidifier sensor. Just replaced mine and recirculating works

@saltyshellback 9 ай бұрын

I have read posts and watched videos about replacing the humidifier sensor and it was hit or miss, so I just bypassed the whole thing to guarantee that I can get inside air to work for me 😄

Living in Nevada i probably never want outside air... but I may just wire the actuator up to a 2 position switch and set it into the dash. ^_^
