So a week ago it blew cold air now today it didn’t, no matter what temp it was set at.

Any ideas what I need to check or reset?

Also does anyone have any suggestions for cabin air filters have a slight musty smell every now and then.

It blew out normal most of the drive this morning then went to it’s blowing but not blowing mode! Car got warm so I turned fan up and temp down and heard fan spinning faster but no air coming out. Need to dig into that actuator.

I see a few actuators listed. I am assuming they are on passenger side of car #15 & 16
Note there are two number 15's, one each side. Those are the hot/cold blend actuators.

Number 16 is the vent selector, the one you want, and it's above 15 on the right.

Also note number 14. I believe that is the recirc actuator. On the gen8's, it's the same part as number 15. Not sure about the gen9 cars. It's behind the glove box on gen8's, and appears to be there in the gen9 pic.

Sometimes some air conditioners switch to automatic climate control mode. It means that it's trying to regulate the temperature in the cabin independently. Thanks to this mode, the temperature in your cabin can change depending on the temperature outside. Some users even like it. However, if you like to install very cold air, you can turn this off. I bought my air conditioner on brightcamping.com. When I bought it, there was an automatic mode installed. The sellers explained to me how I could turn it off. Try to find the instructions for your air conditioner on the Internet. I like the operation of my air conditioner in this mode, and I rarely touch it at all.
