Dodge Intrepid Lost HVAC Heat Q. On my 1993 Dodge Intrepid, I lost heat for no reason. The fan works, I checked the fuses, they are fine. It only blows cold air down on my feet even if I put the setting on Defrost only. I checked the hoses coming into the firewall and they are both hot. The car is not overheating. Could this be the core?

A. If there is no heat at all, but the modes change as normal, then the possibilities get narrowed down quite a bit. Since you did not mention if this has Manual Temperature Control or Automatic Temperature Control I'm going to assume it is a manual system.

The most likely possibility is a bad Blend Air Door Actuator. The temperature door actuator is located at the bottom of the heater housing at the center tunnel.

Remove the three screws holding the actuator and turn it so you can see the drive. Upon removal, note the shaft position of the actuator, because the shaft on this motor is keyed. As you change the temperature setting, the drive should move one way or the other. If it does, then the Blend Air Door is stuck or broken. If it doesn't move, then the problem is with the control panel or the wiring in between the control panel and the actuator.
