The heat comes out of the defroster and the floor, but it won’t come out of the vents. Please advise. Thank you. Patience Davis

Hi,

More than likely your mode door is not operating any longer. Unfortunately, we don't have any repair detail on these vehicles due to the age. However, I believe these were run off of vacuum so I would inspect the hoses and make sure they are not cracked.

Sorry I don't have more detail but let me know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
