My battery died the other day I charged the battery up and now the heater will not work. Is there something that I can do real quick at home or do I just need to take it to the dealer.

Why did the battery die? The reason I ask is it's possible the heater blower motor shorted out and killed the battery.

I left one of those goofy ceramic heaters plug into the cig lighter over night on accident. It fell on the floor and turned on and ran the battery dead. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif

Now for the rest of the story. The rear defrost will not come on nor the a/c and the recirculate button wont light up. The passenger side blows cold air the drivers side blows warm. The fan switch works and the directional dosnt.

Still sounds like a fuse. If not the control itself might be shot.

Thank you Hoot,


It was gremlins. I pulled every fuse non were bad. I hit the rear defrost button and it worked. Then I tried the rest of the heater functions and they all work. Gremlins http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif suck.
