Having been gone for a little while, I decided to come back with another question - this time, the rear heater.
Some background:
Over the summer, I pulled my front seats, cleaned and restored the tracks and regreased them but before swamping the driver side with the passenger, I decided to pull the center console to remove the cup holder that would be in the way with the swaped seat. I put the seats back in but left the center console heater unplugged and enjoyed the "Seattle Summer" we had.
A month ago, I got the radiator flushed in anticipation of what I think will be the "polar vortex/global cooling/global warming...et all" this winter and now my front heater blows NICE and warm/hot. So last night while football was on, I reconnected the rear heater, got some gas and drove it around hoping NOW the rear heater would also blow warm/hot air. Alas, I only got a trickle of what felt like heat.
Not that its a big deal, but if I wanted to get heat to the rear, is there something that should be looked at? Is it a possible core problem in the rear heater and if so, is it separate from the one in front? The coolant lines coming from the engine appear fine although somewhat corroded in a couple spots. I did notice the heater itself was warm to the touch when I removed the console to see if everything was indeed plugged in and good. I researched as much as I could but found nothing specific to my issue.
Any tips or suggestions is appreciated.
James
