Before we attempt to correct your heating problem, try this as a possible solution to your heating problem by taking these steps
  1. Start your car
  2. Adjust the interior heater controls to these settings
    1. Set the thumb wheels on the highest heat settings to maximum red
    2. Set the fan speed to maximum speed
    3. Exit the car and close the doors, do not open the windows
    4. Permit the car to run for 20-30 minutes
  3. After the run time, enter the car and turnoff all of the heater settings
  4. Adjust the heater controls to your normal settings and turn the heater to the #2 setting speed and see if the vents work properly
I hope this works for you; it has worked for me in the past...

While running with the 'big dogs" this past weekend, the HVAC system started acting up. Whenever I switched on the A/C, the wife got cold air on the PS, but I was still getting warm air on the DS. After a few minutes, I moved the temp wheel on the DS to maybe a midpoint setting, left it there for a few minutes and then returned it to the cold setting. I started to get cold air on the DS vents. Found your posts above & sounded like the issue I was having.

So today I started the car, put the HVAC system in the wide-open heating settings, got out & let the car run for 25 minutes with the windows up. When this was finished, I set the HVAC system back to max cool and the system performed just like it should have. Saved this in my Crossfire library for future reference. I figure this is a Preventive Maintenance task that I need to do every year or 2. After all, it's been 16 years since my coupe was born, 15 since I've owned it, and I haven't done this operating task until today!

Thanks, Dennis E.
