I was hardwiring in my radar detector today and I took out the radio. (96 SE with BOSE, manual climate control) I put the radio back in, radio works, but no heat! all the vent controls work.

when I move the temp slider from cold to hot, I get a decrease in air, but it's still cold, I'd say about a 5 degree difference from cold to hot. Now if I turn the fan off, or on low, I can hear something moving when I move the slider from hot to cold and visa versa.

It's not the coolant level, the heat worked great right before I did the radio. as in a few hours.

What do I do? I'm stuck and it's cold out side!

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

 

take it back out, check all your connections, check you didnt blow any fuses

 

Most likely thing that happened was the OP forgot to plug something back in...

 

I Checked all the connections on the back of the climate control panel and they're all plugged in. it's too dark right now, but tommorow I'll pull the whole thing back out and tripple check.

Any other ideas?

 

so after an hour of driving with cold air blowing on me (it wasn't too cold this morning and I had a sweatshirt on) the heat came back. Now it works all the time. I'm still going to take it apart and triple check everything, but it's just a but weird.

 

I'm pretty sure it's ghosts, that's your problem.
