Problem overview

Some Toyota Sequoia owners report experiencing issues with heating on the front driver's side, which may be attributed to a broken blend door or a faulty blend door actuator. These problems can manifest as a lack of heat, unusual clicking noises behind the dashboard, or difficulty controlling the temperature. When the blend door malfunctions, it disrupts the circulation of hot coolant from the engine through the heater core, leading to improper distribution of heated air. Additionally, owners should be aware of potential repair costs associated with replacing the control box and should consider diagnostic steps to inspect the blend door and actuator for any signs of damage. Prompt resolution of these issues is recommended to ensure comfort and proper functionality of the vehicle's heating system.
