I'm just trying to figure out what my problem is. When I try to turn the knob to heat, it won't go all the way. It's like the door that switches from A/C to heat gets stuck.

I have read about two fixes and am not sure which one is right.

Do I replace the HVAC Control panel?

Or

Do I replace the Linkage Kit and Heater Blend?

I have the same problem with mine and have no clue what to do about it. You figured anything out yet???

Mine just went out as well....my friend researched and we still don't know which to replace......let me know if you find anything out.

thanks.

See attached TSB for the repair. Basically, you will have to replace the Linkage Kit and Heater Blend.

[SIZE=7] My friend figured it out for me.....it was just the cable in mine.

Basically, when the dial gets turned too quickly or rapidly the cable will tork causing your heat/coolent to stay on hot or cold not allowing you to adjust the temp. Take a look at the Temp. gage though, if it stays on cold then you need to replace the thermostat.

again---the problem with mine was just the cable itself....costs around $20.00 or less. it's a do it yourself job, really easy to fix.

Thanks for all the help and advice people!!!

Hey Meg,

I know you are saying that the knob "issue" was easy to fix for you. Can you tell me what cable you needed to replace. I am going to buy it but I don't know enough about the part.

I just called the dealer to replace the Heater Blend Door Kit, and they quoted me $400-$1000!!!! I sure hope the cable you speak of will help my siutation!!
