Need Quick Fix for heater before storm hits
I have had this issue with my blend door on my 1998 Expedition. 2x EB if it matters.
I am sure it is the blend door from all of the research I hav done on this. I dont have the money to get fixed and at the moment I dont have the many hours free to do the repair that I found online.
in 2 days we are getting a full week of temps in the 20's with snow and ice. I need heat bad. I would even go as far as just tearing into it for heat and repairing it later. I just need to get to work. I got a small aux heater from harbor freight but it melted in 10 minutes and the size of it already tells me that there is no way it will work.
Anyway if there any any mechs or anyone with knowledge of this please please contact me and let me know what I can do temporarily. I dont care If I have to sawzall into the lower dash and zip tie the thing open. I just need heat.
Thanks

No advice here really except to go to the dealer is what I did. I had a bunch more crap done with the A/C and parts/labour/tax came to 315 bucks or so CDN $$$. It was an easy fix from what they tell me. Kind of took the fun out of bieng a DIY'r, but what the hell, it's fixed and warrantied for a year.
