No HEAT! HELP

[scott_parker82]

I have a '99 F-150 4x4 w/5.4L V8. When engine is warm I have nothing but cold air out of vents/defog. Thermostat is good switch is good. Local dealer said that it was my elec blend door had failed. $600 to get them to replace. Anyone know if there's a way to prop the blend door open or anything I can do to get SOME heat? Thanks in advance. It's getting cold going hunting

Sounds like it you are not the first to experience this.<br />Perhaps worth propping the door open as a temporary fix, till it can be done properly.<br /><br />Worth reading, maybe.<br /><br /> http://www.f150online.com/forums/archive/topic/171152-1.html <br /><br /> http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2135488#post2135488

Had that happen to my 97 econoline van. It was out of warranty by a year. I screamed bloody murder and got it fixed for $100.00 under some kind of goodwill/owner assistance program.<br /><br />I told them that there was no excuse for this to happen, that you could go take a 1953 Chevy out of the wrecking yard and the heater door would still work.<br /><br />It is probably too late, now for you to raise a ruckus.
