Dude, I don't know if you typed from a cell phone or what, but you need to edit that so it can be read and understood. If you're at a computer, please don't type like you're writing a text message. That looks like a lot of incoherent babbling.

check to make sure the heater hoses are hot, and the thermostat is working, dash gauge up in the warm area.... if you only get cold air, pull the **** off the hot-cold selector and see that the shaft is turning. If it is, and no hot air, you might have a bad blend door. Electric motor controls a door taht mixes hot and cold air to get the "warm" you want. Motor is under the radio, above the transmission hump. You can see it if you take off the plastic molding. Motor turns a gear box/ crank to move the door. YOu can have bad motor, bad gearbox, bad crank, broken door. ---- there is a fuse for the code reader.. i foget which one.. should be listed in operators book. I think its also controls the wipers?

I wasn't offended...I just couldn't understand exactly what you were asking. And there are others who are 10 times worse, maybe slow down and type, or use the spell checker.
