I have Chevy Cavalier 1990, recently the heat stoped working, I can feel the heat but it is not blowing out. If I switch to different possition it's working just fine. Is it the switch or something else? How to fix it?

Suggested Repair

The heat section of the HVAC control panel may be burnt out, or a vacuum problem may be blocking heat airflow. Try a complete control panel from a similar-year Chevrolet and check the vacuum system.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier said heat is present but does not blow out, while other mode positions work normally. Fan speed and the mode switch otherwise appear to function. The expert suggested the heat area of the switch may be burnt out or that vacuum problems may be involved, and recommended trying a complete control panel from a similar-year Chevrolet.
