I bought this new to me 1995 fzj80 last February and there was an incredible racket from under the dash when the heater was turned on. There were 2 different sounds one clicking sound that happens when the temp slider is all the way to the cold or all the way hot. In the middle it doesn't do it. I imagine it is the blender door. I have no idea where that is located. But the other noise was a whirring sound corresponding with the fan speed. I replaced the fan wheel as it was the home to a rat and had a nest inside of it. When I did that the fan worked flawlessly and the whirring sound was gone but that was in the summer where I didn't need to use the heater. But now that it's cold out I am back to trying to heat the rig. But now I am not getting anything.
I replaced the thermostat and did a heater core flush of both front and rear. I have the heater control valve that I intend on putting in tomorrow but the rear heater isn't even putting out any heat now where before it would. Aside from the heat I need this crazy clapping sound from the blender doors to stop. I just need to know where it is and how to access it. I did have the stereo out this summer and I think the rear heat hasn't worked since. The rig has not been a daily driver but going forward it is going to have to be so I need to solve these problems.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have searched all over these forums for some answers. So please don't tell me to use the search function.. I have spent hours trying that.
Thanks,
Jeff
