Air/Heater System Won't Work???

[YngTLCOwner]

Just curious if anyone has come across this same problem.

Either - 1) I drive in hot weather (85+degrees) and the air/heater would not turn on at all.

or

2) I just let the truck sit out in the parking lot and like today be about 90+ degrees and the air/heater would not work when I go to opereate it.

However, once the temp cools down I can get in the truck and the air/heater will work. Could anyone say what the problem could be? (possible....... fan clutch?)

I know on the 97 that it has an auto shut off if system gets too hot but I don't understand how it could stop it from work even when the truck is just parked outside and not evening running.

I would like to try and solve this problem myself before having to take it into the Stealer. I did do a search but did not come up w/ anything that was similar. I appologize if did not do a good enough job searching. Input would be much appreciated.

Thanks all.

You might try searcing under "climate control". I believe several folks with the auto climate control "feature" - define it as you will - have had similar headaches with it behaving erratically or not at all. I know mine seems to have a mind of its own when compared to good old manual controls. In that vein someone may advise you to solve all your problems by dumping your current truck and getting a 93
