Heater problem
1997 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 100k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Heater has worked fine all winter. Today I replaced the battery, and since then all I get is cold air blowing out the vents. I've read on other sites that this is a result of the indoor/outdoor air gate not closing 100%. Is this probable?

check blend door and its operation
unplug the bcm and plug it back in
or take it fuse out and put it back in

Thanks for the help. Not really sure what the problem was. I was having trouble with the climate control, so I did send it in to get repaired. I reinstalled the climate control, and I was still only getting cold air. So I removed the glove box, and manually shut the blend door. After that, heater worked fine, and so did the operation of the blend door.
