Lol, AC question.

I know it's kind of late to ask this question since it's summer and all, but it's been bothering me.

When I turn my heater on, it doesn't heat. I spin the temperature dial all the way clockwise, and I press the button so the AC turns off. I've let the car warm up for 5 minutes, and I've also driven for like 30 minutes with it on full blast and still no heat. Could my heater just be broken? lol.

Have the car on and look under the steering wheel/near the peddles upwards. Turn the dial from cold -> hot and see if anything moves...

I had that problem. The dealer had to replace the HVAC control module.

The heater control on my '04 started acting up several months ago. It wouldn't hold a heat setting, sometimes no heat, sometimes too much heat. I finally got around to taking it in for service and they changed the heater control unit, under warranty. Works great now.
