4 Ignition problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 09/01/2005

Under normal driving conditions the hvac system switches from cooling fine to full heat mode. The hvac compressor is still running, however some type of damper servo malfunctions to let in hot air (poss from the heater core area) opens full and replaces the cold air with extremely hot air. It happens about every 7-10 miles on a bad day and once a day on a good day. The only remedy I have found for it is to pull over to the side of the road, place the vehicle in park, turn off the ignition, open the door to kill the interior power, close the door, restart the vehicle. This some how resets the damper servo to its proper operating range.
