Basically It's Winter And I Want Heat. Tonight I Replaced The Thermostat, Checked The Air Mix Door, Felt The In Out Lines For The Heater Core And Still No Heat.

But here's the catch. When I Hit Auto And Turn It Up To 90 Degrees The A/C Kicks on and I get 60 degree air coming out.

I've gotten heat for BRIEF seconds when driving and the ECC happened to be set at 90 and I randomly felt hot air on my legs but thats the only tease I get.

Thanks For Your Time,
Jimmy
