The blend door is in the HVAC box located under the dash on the passenger side. A faulty electric door actuator is often the cause of this - there is a really good video on YouTube showing location and how to replace it.

SOURCE: 1998 Jimmy SLT heater problem

if the blend air door keeps cycling even if the setting is hot or cold this tells you that the thermostatic control sensor is bad. replace that and the problem will be solved.......please rate this.

All I did with my 1999 blazer is pull the a/c fuses from under the hood and heat blows just fine.
good luck

If ythe heater core is not bad then I would replace the thermostat, this will stop the warm coolant running up to your engine go to the heater core.

SOURCE: MY TEMP BLEND MODUAL IS BAD WHERE IS IT LOCATED IN THE DASH OF A

the part u are referring to is the temperature control blend door actuator motor, it is about center of air ducting, in order to access the part u must remove the entire dash assembly, not a job for a DIYer, 12-15 hour job.

SOURCE: do you have to remove whole dashboard on 96 gmc

  1. Remove the front dash panel by turning the lower screws in a counter-clockwise direction, then unscrewing the single bolt on the lip of the instrument cluster and pulling the panel out. Remove the rear wiper switch and the 4x4 switches, if applicable. Lowering the tilt wheel will allow the panel to be totally removed.
  2. Remove the radio, headlight switch module and glove box by turning their screws in a counter-clockwise direction.
  3. Remove the main dashboard by unbolting it at the front, between the windshield and firewall. There are six to eight bolts holding it in, and, once they are removed, the dash can be pulled away from the firewall. Be careful not to pull too much, as the wiring harness could become damaged.
  4. Drain the coolant system by turning the drain plug on the lower left corner of the radiator and allowing the fluid to fall into the drain pan. Uncapping the radiator can reduce the internal pressure.
  5. Remove the heater core hoses, on the upper left of the engine bay, by pinching their hose clamps with a pair of pliers and pulling them off. Some models will have screw-type hose clamps; turning them counter-clockwise will loosen them. Age and heat may have stuck the hoses to the core nipples, and the hoses can be cut right at these nipples if necessary. Leave enough hose to reconnect the new core.
  6. Unbolt the heater core's mounts with a socket wrench in a counter-clockwise direction. Once the bolts are free, the heater core can be maneuvered toward the windshield and slid out. Some coolant may splash out, so have a towel handy.
  7. Replace the heater core with a new one by sliding it into place and securing the mounting bolts.
  8. Reconnect the heater core's hoses, turn the radiator's drain plug clockwise to close it, then refill the coolant system with a 50/50 percent mix of coolant and water.
  9. Reconnect the dashboard to the firewall, then replace the front dash panel and fasten its instrument cluster screw and bottom bolts.
  10. Crank up the truck and add coolant until the heater core is filled and blowing hot air.
  11. Replace the radiator cap.
The Jimmy uses a coolant-heated radiator core mounted in the dashboard to provide heated air into the passenger compartment. This heater core can become clogged and leak, as it is usually the lowest point in the coolant system and debris settles into it. Replacement of the heater core will take the average of about two hours to complete. Good luck

Heating system just blowing out cold air. New Thermostat and plug wires have been replaced.

if the car is otherwise running well, replacing the thermostat is not going to fix a heater. the plug wires also have nothing to do with the heater. the heater is a small radiator inside a box which is inside the car, generally under the dash behind the glove box. you do not say how old your car is but if it is 9 or more you could well have a bad core, they corrode and plug up with age, either condition will stop the heater from working, but the engine will continue to run OK. there are two heater hoses under the hood coming from the engine which connect to the core at the firewall. if the engine is warm and one of those hoses is still cold then you are not getting circulation through the core and it is not going to work for you.

1998 Jimmy with electrical controls for temperature. Replaced Themostat, Flushed heater core, replaced damaged vacuum lines. Vehicle produces heat to heater core but only luke warm interior temp. Rotated...

Suggestion: see if the blend door opens or closes completely to allow all air through the heater core. To see the blend door moving, remove the panel that says "Cut here for service" under the hood along the firewall. I have a 99 Bravada where the blend door keeps moving back and forth constantly. Changed the blend door actuator but still keeps moving. The air inside is only warm since the door keeps allowing bypassed air through.

My fan for my heat and air in my 99 mercury mystique is working but I have no heat. I believe it might be that the heater core is clogged, but I can't find its location. I can't afford to replace the core,...

There is a switch on the control console that activates the heater door control. The door control is located behind the glove box. (You have to remove the glove box to get to it) If the switch on the console is bad, or the door control is bad, the door may not be opening to allow the blower to blow through the heater core and into the cab. I would think that if the core were plugged or coolant wasn't allowed through it, it would cause the car to overheat. its called a blend door it turns different ways door can stick causeing no heat

No heat

It sound's like one of two thing's, first open the glove compartment look behind to the left you will see a clear vacuum line going to a goldish in color accuator remove it once the vehicle is at normal operating temp. if you get heat then you have a problem with the vacuum switch, just plug the vacuum hose, you will have to reconnect it in the summer to get the AC working. The other problem could be the heater control valve, located under the hood inline on the hoses going to the heater core, upper passenger side of the fire wall.

1994 pontiac firebird HAS NO HEAT

Okay. warm up vehicle, get radiator hoses hot.  Turn on heater, fan on low.  Grip both rubber heater hoses close to the firewall, from the engine compartment side.  They should be too hot to hold for long.  If they are not hot, then you have a lack of coolant circulation to the heater hoses.  If they are hot then access heater core, behind glove box area.  Blend door which moves as you chose HOT or Cold, should be cable controlled, move the controls and be sure the door is actually moving. Keep me posted
