Well if the compressor turns on, your pipes are cold and inside it blows hot air then your issue is most likely what I show in this video. The a/c actuator

Thanks! Easy to follow, simple instructions, and you kept it real! 😉

I fixed my nissan pulsar the same way but I found the problem that you tried to fix with wd40. It's like brakes on a bike both ends of the cover on the wire need to be in a special groove so it can work. The actual problem is not the lever it is at the other end it has just come out of the groove so the wire is not pulling the lever. Open the center console and look underneath the aircon hot cold lever and you will see the problem straight away. I did mine yesterday and now both hot and cold works perfectly. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

You could a second wire and tie the part that open and close so you could have the sufficient force to push it to close.

Interesting troubleshooting on the control mechanics, though for plastic lubrication, WD-40 isn't the best choice, as it can eventually soften and change the characteristics of some plastics. Lithium grease is a safer and more robust alternative, as it's not damaging to plastics and that it's a grease will also hold up longer to use and not drain or evaporate like WD-40 tends to do after a few weeks.

Either the cable is bad or the part where it connects to the rotary switch is bad. However, if you're not going to replace the needed parts, what I would do is take a thick rubber band or a small spring and attach it to that white plastic finger and attach a screw to the case to hold the other side of the spring or rubber band. That will put some mechanical force on the blend door in the cold position so it will close with very little effort from the cable.

You need to do what you did in the opposite location. take the housing off and adjust the clip that holds the wire at the hot/cold nob you're turning. It gets lose over time. Very common in Honda's and toyotas.

How do you put it into place?

Another thing to check thanks,

Excellent video I got the idea

The case is that the spring haven't suffisent force to return the lever, so I'll put another spring to help it - spring with lower force, one end on the lever and another end in somewhere behind it. I think this way to solve the problem, because to pull you have suffisent force to overload both springs but not to push the lever with the flexible cord.

Hey bro, first of all thank you! My car (mitsubishi lancer 2010) have no such a heat lever. Its probably move by electronic, cus it have no mechanical wire going out from the ac control and when im move the heat/cold circle its making a sound of movement only when the power switch is on. Any suggestions where i can find the inner lever?

Thanks alot

Mine works thanks

Your problem is the cable has come away from the holding clip. It secures the outer cable. You need to view the complete cable. As you turn the knob the pressure to overcome the flap door causes the outer cable to move. If you secure the outer cable it has nowhere to go therefor the inner cable will do what it is suppose to.... move the flap correctly👍

It looks like there is a spring attached at the bottom of the white plastic piece that is meant to push the lever when you select cold air. I wonder if the spring is still connected to its anchor point (it’s too dark to see in the video), or if the spring has weakened over time and needs to be replaced…

Very helpful

Drill a hole through the bottom piece. Slide a dowel in and secure it to the a/c door, that's if you can get a good shot straight through to the to the switch.
