    I noticed today when I was messing with the ac when I went to get back into the car that warm/hot air was coming out of the door handles, and im wondering if anyone knows what that is?

    AC making pressure in the cab. Sun heating door. Hot air blowing out the handles. Just a hunch, but seems logical.

    Turn your fan on the highest setting with all the windows shut and doors shut and you will feel air coming out of the door handles. Normal for the truck, the air has to go somewhere.

    That makes sense, especially since the ac resistor just broke and only works on high lol

    Does it happen regardless if recirculate is off or on?

    I didn’t noticed but earlier I couldn’t feel air rushing through, I’ll go mess with it in a bit here. Also does anyone know why when I switch the vent mode to feet it goes to defroster?
