Trying letting the car warm up and then put the temp to "Hi". If it starts blowing hot, you can adjust it down accordingly.

Your resistor has probably gone bad. Its right under your glove box.. I had similar issue last year. I think its called heater blower resistor. GL.

Thanks! This did the trick. However, when I put it back in Auto mode, no hot air again. Pretty frustrating!

can you provide the part number? autozone and oriely like $80+ for the heater blower resistor.

for the OP mines does the same thing as yours, just dont use auto thats what I do. I feel like the pin that changes the temperature behind the firewall is off because I have to put it to at least 82+ for it to start blowing hot air. Even at 80 degrees it blows cold air still even after cars warmed up.

Hey, can you do a detailed write-up, with pictures preferably, when you fix yours?

Part number is RU1041 and it's 45.99 and if you order from Advance Auto online I believe you 20% off.

I will be changing out the part tomorrow and I will be sure to take pictures and do a write-up.

Mine only works sometimes but it only works when my air is on high so I'm hoping this solves my issue.

Solved my issue. Car is blowing air now. Seriously easiest thing i have done to a car. Pop out the black plastic cover under the glovebox and the resistor is right infront of you. Was held in by two phillips head/10mm screws. Unclipped it the clipped in new one and reinstalled. Took all of 5 minutes.
