I own a 1990 Buick Lesabre and having trouble with my heater. When I put the heater on the heater setting it doesn't work, but when I put it on the bi level setting I can feel the heater vents barley getting warm but no air comes out also my emergencey brake light comes on when I am driving but won't work at all when I use the emergency brake. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heater problem: Check for heat coming out the defroster vents. I suspect you are getting heat there, but not out the front vents. If so, the problem is with a vacuum hose. Your heater's vent system runs on engine vacuum to switch between vent, heater, and defrost settings. It is located at a spot under the master cylinder and to the left. Usually the hose dry rots off.

Emergency Brake: The switch is at the end of the foot pedal. It sounds like it is defective, but could be just out of adjustments.
