Yep, winter is coming and I'm moving to Vermont. Brilliant I know... That said, I need to fix my stuck vent switch... which I've been putting off for a couple years since I was in GA. But now a "real" winter is coming and I'll need defrost!
I've been digging around for any diagrams of how the vent system switches from Floor / Dash / Defrost and can't find any online or in the FSM. Hard to believe I'm the 1st to have a stuck vent switch but I didn't find anything when searching here either. I've read about the risks of disrupting the heater core and I'm hoping I won't have to go that deep.
The switch moves smoothly from floor to dash... but only moves a little bit past that and hits a hard stop. Maybe some debris feel down in there and is jamming the vent?
Any suggestions or tips on this?
Thanks

- I had installed an oil pressure sensor a while back (Vortec Swap) and the copper tubing had found its way into the path or the vent switch mech. So, problem fixed and cost was nada. Just me feelin' a bit silly for over looking it the last 3 times I tried to fix it. Thanks!
