So my AC is acting up and I hear some ticking noises coming from the dash when I turn the key but don't start the car. From what I read it's the AC blender doors failing. But where can I buy replacements for them?

No actuator. The door is cable-driven.

Okay, so how do I go about fixing the blender doors? Also, what are the signs of failing blender doors? I get cool air on the drivers side and central vents but very weak flow on the passenger side vent.
When I turn the temp **** from cold to hot, I do get warm air but it is not as hot as it supposed to be.

AC clutch is always engaged, no leaks but it seems that my high pressure is too high. 35 PSI low side and 250 PSI high side with 85 F. Could it be a bad condenser?

I'm not sure about the pressures, but we can address that later. Right now, the always-engaged AC clutch sounds like a big clue. If I'm not mistaken, the temperature/blend door blocks air from passing over the heater core in the full COLD position, but it doesn't block air from passing over the evap core in the full HOT position. So if that AC clutch is allowing the compressor to run while you're calling for heat, air would be passing over both the evap and heater cores.

Try turning the compressor clutch off (pull fuse or unplug the clutch if you have to), and see if that warm air gets hot like it should.

Ok, I will try to disconnect the Ac compressor clutch and I will let you know how it goes. Meanwhile, where can I get new blend doors? I can't find in any online parts retailer. Finally, can I still drive the car with my AC on, even with the clutch constantly being engaged?
