my car is now pumping out a LOT of heat! I now have to set my thermostat at about 65-67 in order not to roast myself out of the car.

Is there something wrong with this picture? Is there a possiblity that I pinched a vac hose or something that's keeping the car from opening the proper vents? If so, is there a way for me to check this?

Thanks for the help guys!

which regulates the heat? Its usually on the very bottom of the heater box? You might need to remove a few items to get at it?

Then operate your system, and visually see what the motor is doing? Listen to see if its operating through its full range of motion? Fully cycling the internal flap open to closed?

Mine quit on me one day. I had to remove it, disassemble, clean, regrease & reinstall. Since then its worked fine. ;O)

It is distributing the heat fine, but just pumping out extremely high temperatures.

I'll check that out though... where is that motor located? Behind the glove box? Or center console.

Thanks!

Guess I have to dismantle the center console a bit to figure it out.

What does this motor do exactly? Does it help direct the flow of the air?

Thanks again!

The small motors move the internal baffles of the hearer/A/C box's and direct air.

The one for the heat/heater core, regulates how hot the air will be. Because your heatercore has constant hot water flowing through it, so temp regulation is controlled by the baffles/motors.

They direct more or less air to pass through the hot heater core, which in turn, allows cold or heated air out the vents. ;O)

nice... alright, that's for the help!

btw, you wouldn't by chance have any pix of when you took yours out and cleaned it would you? Thanx

I had to remove the lower air distribution section, to get at the motors. Item #9, which is directly above the center gearbox tunnel/hump, behind the center section of your dash. Try from the passenger side first. You may need to remove some dash pieces to get at it. The motors connect to the levers-22.
