Before we attempt to correct your heating problem, try this as a possible solution to your heating problem by taking these steps- Start your car
- Adjust the interior heater controls to these settings
- Set the thumb wheels on the highest heat settings to maximum red
- Set the fan speed to maximum speed
- Exit the car and close the doors, do not open the windows
- Permit the car to run for 20-30 minutes
- After the run time, enter the car and turnoff all of the heater settings
- 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.
