Weird heating issue
Hello everyone,
I've been noticing an issue (one of many that I'll post separately) recently that makes no sense.
1. It's 35 degrees outside, I get in the car and the vehicle thermostat (dual controls - using drivers side only) is set to 74 degrees. For a FEW moments, heat will be coming out. But after a few minutes, the air is cold... I turn the thermostat up to 77... still cold, 80, still cold.... But setting it at about 82 degrees, I can feel the warm air. Still cold on passenger side, but warm air from drivers side... BUT.... if I turn the dial ALL the way up to 90 degrees, the the heat blasts out HOT on both sides.... This shouldn't be. When I turn the heat WIDE OPEN, then the heat is VERY HOT... But what's the point of having a thermostat, if you can't set it, or you have to set it really high to have any warm air coming out?
2. For some reason, I can set the air flow to FLOOR, but still feel a LOT of air from the vents. Shouldn't it move ALL the air to the FLOOR? When I change the setting, seemingly, I can hear the changes being made behind the instrument panel.
Thanks for your help,
Pastor D.
