Help 4 Winter!

Hi all, I have a 1991 2.4 TD Hilux surf. Gen 1

Does anyone happen to know why the heater would constantly blow cold air down by the passenger's feet? It doesn't make any difference what setting the heater is on (heat / direction / recirculating / ac on or off). doesnt make any difference, there is still freezing cold air blasting out by the passenger footwell. The other vents will give out some hot air but they are very much down on power as if most of the "oomph" is coming out in the form of cold air down in the footwell.

Any help or advice before im forced to rip out the dashboard would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Will

Look down at the heater mechanism near the driver's footrest. Ignition on, and press the heater's control buttons on the dash. You will see the white plastic control arms move to various positions to direct air to different areas. Yours may be sticking and just need a squirt of silicone spray to loosen them up.
