Re: no a/c coming out of dash
|
Thanks for the suggestions--seemed to me like the blend door cables were the likely culprit, so I took apart what I could of the dash/console and discovered that there are two cables that control the blend doors. One cable controls the windshield/floor option, and one cable controls the floor/dash blend. The piece of plastic (not reinforced, unfortunately) that holds the floor/dash blend in place with a retainer clip had broken off. I guess you could count on a little plastic fatigue in 24 years. So that cable is now just coming out from underneath the dash and can be operated manually. Funky, but works fine. There is def. some foam loss going on in there as well, but perhaps I can stave that off for a while longer.? Roger

"no tension", probably the connecting cable has come off the lever for one of the blend doors or
the knob itself. Not as serious as the "foam" issue. Have you had any foam coming out of any of the dash vents?
It might also be foam has come off of one, but not all the blend doors.
Yours being a '97 (like mine) it's time to address recovering the blend doors and while at it, install a new
heater core, blower motor and heater valve. The parts are inexpensive, the labor not so much.

1997 EVC w/135k approx. A/C still working, but only coming out of defrost and feet when using directional knob. There is no "tension" (if that is the right word) on the knob when it is moved to the dash. Is this the dreaded "foam" issue and I need to take apart the dash?
