Got HEAT?
Is your front heat unit on the blitz? Often a problem on '99's or later ... either broken blend doors or door actuators.
Now that some cold weather is creeping in, I thought it would be a good time to repost some old information about how to "make the best of it" until you can make repairs on the broken items. The following will help you keep from freezing ... I've had to use them myself while repairs were made.
1. Dis-able the AC compressor. There are many ways to accomplish this. Unplug the compressor itself. AC Fuse. OR, on the '99 and later you can just unplug the ac-clutch-relay. Relay #204 methinks. Refer to glove box manual.
Now the ac will not come on if you happen to use the "defrost" selection.
2. Place controller on "max ac". This closes the door that lets outside air into the cabin. Use this position at all times that you are not "defrosting" the windschield.
3. If you have rear heat, turn it on full heat and full fan speed. By using both the front and rear fans, you will eventually have a fairly warm cabin.
