A/C blowing heat when set to 60

[Tidmore20]

So I’m having a problem with the A/C in my Gladiator blowing hot air when I set it to 60 and even have the A/C turned on. The weird part is, it only blows hot when it is 60 degrees or lower outside temp. I can change my temp from 60-70 and it only blows hot as it can. When I go to Lo, it blows cold.....am I missing something here? Is there some kind of setting that I’m not seeing? I’ve tried to look all over for anyone else with this issue and there doesn’t seem to be a fix that I can find. I’m hoping someone on here can help. Thanks in advance

Having a similar issue with my max tow. I’m going to get the dealer to look at when I bring it in for the steering TSB. The service manager said he thought there was a flash fix for it.... so fingers crossed

It sort of sounds like it's working as intended. The temperature setting is more like a thermostat - it automatically picks the temperature of the air in order to heat/cool the cabin. It doesn't set the temperature of the air coming out to the degree you select, which is counter-intuitive if you're coming form an older AC like I was that simply had a blue/red dial.

So if it's 59 degrees outside and you set it to 60, then it's going to give you warm/hot air until the inside reaches the right temperature and then it should cool back down to what you were probably expecting.

If I want cool air when it's cold outside I put it down to low.

Running the AC whether it was 70F or 100F+ outside regardless of AC temp setting (AC not in auto mode) I also experienced hot air blowing from the passenger side floor area. This would happen randomly with city driving or cruising at highway speeds (kept it in the double digits).

Today, per my request (from forum suggestions) the dealer reprogrammed per TSB 24-007-19 and TSB 24-007-21.

This seems to have fixed the problem, I will advise if further driving reveals otherwise.

Thank you all for the information that helped.
