Heater Issues
Has anyone expierenced this problem or know what would have caused it?
I have the 2010 F-150 FX4, I was using the command start to let the truck warm up as it was 25 below here. Well after letting the truck run for the 15 min time period I hit the command start again to let it warm up another 15 min. When I went to the truck it was blowing cold air(not enough to even melt the snow on the windshield). I thought if I started driving it would get warmer, it didn't. I was driving to the dealership and have them look at it but as I was driving I decided I would turn the temp down then turned it up. it started blowing hot air and works fine now.
I got a feeling if I take into the dealership now they will think I am nuts or something becasue the problem no longer exists.

Sounds like the blend door got stuck somehow, and it got freed by changing the temp.
I would chalk it up as an anomaly. If it seems like a trend, take it in & explain the symptoms & fix. The dealership should be willing to look at it...even if it is working at that time.

FWIW, in a former life I was an auto tech.
