The cold snap we have been having the past few days has moved my heater up on the list of priorities. Everything works fine except that when I move the heater lever to "Floor" it comes out the defroster. Everything else is perfectly normal.
I took the radio out and the heater controls loose. The defroster/floor actuator is moving. There is a plastic piece on the end that used to attach the actuator to the door. It must have broke.
Has anyone had this happen before? How big of a job is it to fix it? I think I might just go buy some wool socks.
You can get into the heater box by removing the glove box, you will then see the rear cover of the heater box which come off with a few screws.
The actuator and flapper is closer to the drivers side. How do I pull the flap out to put a new one in? Is the flapper even a serviceable part (can I get a new one)?
