Thanks for any replys, Joe Quote Selected
no heat Reply #1 – September 24, 2006, 11:03:42 AM Maybe the little vac motor thing that moves the door from, vent ,heat a/c, didn't get hooked back up. You could have missed the vac line or maybe the other end didn't get hooked up to the door part.If it was the Stat it was stuck open you would have heat sitting still but not at highway speeds. If you hoses are hot you should have heat. Quote Selected
