Hey guy,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I have the manual HVAC system, but I'm not sure if the AC/Heater Control module has ever been replaced. I highly doubt it though. I don't see any blinking lights as if it were auto calculating upon each start up, which is what I've heard when people replace their AC/Heater Control modules.

Is the scan tool something I need to go to the dealership for? Or will Autozone / O'Reilys have this?

I will give that air circulating tutorial a try tomorrow morning.

Really appreciate the help!

dealer will have software that can scan Body Control Module to retrieve what error codes are present and help narrow down what part of the system creates the non-op symptoms

ODB scanners won't read that information since each maker has proprietary systems beyond the engine / powertrain management that encompasses ODB-II systems

I found the part on Rock Auto

there's one for cars built from 2/02/09 onward available

the one for builds prior to 2/02/09 is showing out of stock

your VIN sticker on the driver's door will show you vehicles build date MMD:HH (last two are hours in 24 hour format)

that's odd since many models prior to 2011 seem to have the same control set. I remember renting a 2009 Sebring that had the same HVAC controls.

the 2011 - 2014 won't work for yours since those had auto climate control and the '10 and earlier were manual climate control - FYI

I'd have the diagnostic to determine if its the control unit itself or something else. Or if a re-flash might resolve it.

Its very strange that a part is discontinued - I looked at online dodge dealer parts and its Not Available...

the similar looking controls were used in other models - but they have different part numbers
