Beater's now without a heater, plz help
Allright, on my $75 '95 ford Escort, the heater quit working....
When I got the car on thursday, it worked, only if u had the **** between two of the positions... Now, it doesnt blow any air, in any position. The radiant heat comming from the vents is warm, but nothing else happens. When I push the AC buttion, the AC controler lights up, but no air...
Any help would be greatly appreciated... My uncle's STRONGLY considering getting this car for my 16 y/o cousin who'll be getting her lisance soon, provided everything required for driving works

If they're the black and grey boxes on the passengers side firewall, then I found them, and they're loose. I jammed a paper clip in the connection between the box, and the metal tab... didnt do anything...
Cant find the blower motor... Am I that blind/dumb?

I got the control arm in... Call me a NOOB, but it was a pita. I took it to work and had them toss it on the allignment rack... It's got slightly bent tie rods, but the ends are still good. There's enough adjustment left in them to safely put it in spec. All is well in that regard, just gotta come up with $45... Next friday I'll get it done, along with 2 new (used) tires...
STILL gotta fix the heater. The problem was with the connection to the blower... It was burnt up at one point, and some genius cobbled it... I fixed it by putting a "real" connector on it (VS just jamming a stripped wire up there)... Does NOT blow out the defrost, which is unsafe...
There's a cam on the passengers side of the center console, and it controls the vents. I move it in any direction, and it goes through the vents it should, except the defroster... I cannot "force" it to the defrost position. plz help, any ideas on that would be greatly appreciated
tks alot everyone

I've tried to remove it, but I cant... it looks like this
Far right is defrost, lever wont move past "floor"...
Dont know how to remove the switch. So far, I removed the bezel surrounding it, and unscrewed all the screws I could get at... The "face" comes off, but that really doesnt help me...
How's it come apart?
tks alot

A '95 should still be cable controlled I believe. Is the radio above it? Pull the radio if it is and see if you can see some cables behind it, that'd probably be holding it in.
I'd be willing to guess something's up with the position cable keeping it from going past floor.
