Default is it just not blowing cold or is it actually blowing hot?

mine was blowing hot and when i brought it to the dealer it needed some big time work done, luckily it was under warranty.

Default Set the climate control to 63 degrees and see if it's cold then

The climate control uses the temperature readings from the sensor in the instrument panel between the radio and the climate control and the sensor in the headliner light panel to determine whether it should blow cold air. My experience is that those sensors don't do a very good job of measuring the temp I'm feeling or that I've set in the climate control.
YMMV.

If it won't blow cold no matter where you set it, start here:<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int5.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int5.shtml</a</li></ul>
