The car was recently in a slight accident, side impact at drivers side front wheel. Ever since I got it back from the repair shop, it would not blow hot air when on heater.
Took it back to the shop, and they flushed radiator, and heater core. Both hoses from heater core are hot.
Still only blew slightly warm air. I did research online, and thought it could be heat actuator blend door. I replaced the unit, and now I have hot air, but only from floor vents. If I put the controller on vent, the air is not hot. If I put it on defrost, the air is only cold regardless of temp setting.
