I have a 93 Seville with 27,000 miles.
My radiator sprung a leak 2 weeks ago. I removed it and had the side tank re-crimped. I then re-installed with new fluid (green, 50/50) and all is well. Oh, added BarsLeak pellets too.
Since I only inherited this car 3 months ago, I'm trying to get used to its quirks.
However, its now in the middle of a cold snap and I notice that when on "heat", the front footwell vents blow hot (very hot) on the passenger side, and cool at best on the driver's side.
At first I thought maybe I had an air bubble in the system... but that doesn't make sense. Then I thought the heater core was plugged... but how could I get hot air on the passenger side?
The defroster does the same.... cool on the driver's side, hot on the passenger side.
So.... It's gotta be a "door" stuck somewhere? Any ideas? How do I access the "door" that should swing open or shut for heat? I can pull the center console if its under the dash in that area.... or is it somewhere else??? I don't have the FSM. But I have wrenches!
Where's the best place to look, access the vacuum hoses and door?
Thanks in advance.........
