Hi All!
I have a 2000 sport, 4.0L/Auto that I LOVE! but I'm freezing my buns off in all winter.
I bought her last November, and was a little C-O-L-D last winter. I read/lurked here, and thought that I had a blocked heater core.
Well Come spring time/warmer weather, It was getting a little warmer then I would have liked...so...I gathered up the stuff this past summer, and replaced the Radiator, Water pump, & thermostat . I flushed out the block, and the heater core (I had a nice flow through the heater hoses both ways)...and thought I was golden.
Now I am getting the same symptoms (Little/no real heat inside). I thought it might be a loose heater cable from the control on the dash, or a broken control...so I got on Ebay and bought (what I thought was) the correct heater/AC control.....Pulled it all apart tonight when I got home from work, and Sha-Zam! it's not a cable controlled system at all..:doh:
The Hayes manual has been less than useless for this...
Luckily I am a former mechanic, and current Electronics guy (25+years) so I'm not >Totally< clueless :lecture:!!
I took the control apart, and tested the potentiometer that controls the "Heat" setting...it's fine....
But I need a diagram of the heater control system.. like where the (??missing??) heat control valve/motor/door, or whatever it is that controls the cool/heat, is located on this thing so that I don't have to freeze again this winter.
Any/All help would be GREATLY! appreciated!!!
Thank You!
