Quarterwave Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi everyone, When I try to slide the temperature slider to the "heat" side of the spectrum, the lever is really hard to push from about half way. So hard that I can only get it into about 2/3's of the heat range. Is this common? What is the usual cause? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Do you have factory AC or a heat/vent only panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Do you have factory AC or a heat/vent only panel? The cable (solid wire actually) could be kinked or rusted in its sheath. The blend door may have torn its hinges or something may be obstructing it. That's about it unless the plastic quadrant or the sheath anchor on the control itself is broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's relatively quick & easy to pull the glove box, heater core cover & core, and watch the temperature blend door move as you work the control: https://supermotors.net/getfile/958838/thumbnail/coredrain.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterwave Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Ok, thanks everyone. ArdWrknTrk - I have the factory AC. Steve - thanks for the pics/links. Does the dash need to come out? I'm trying to tell from the pic in the link you provided and it looks like the dash is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
