the other day i went to change my ac control from hot to cold, and the knob thing would jam in the middle, so it wouldnt turn from hot to cold without some muscle. so when i turned the ac on, it was making this odd whistling sound. so i took it to my mitsu dealer, and they checked it out. they took it apart, and it turns out there was a rock stuck in there and it was jamming the gears. im still tryin to figure out how it got in there, maybe from the car wash but mitsu didnt charge me for it, didnt even write it up. well, just thought id share that and get your input on maybe how a rock got in there so i can try to avoid it in the future

if the car wash uses very high pressure...its a slim possiblirty. it may just be one of those random acts of god

I'll be sure to check for rocks and gravel the next time my heat/ac won't come on! Thanks for the heads up !!
