Default heater intermittent

Hi guys,

New here to dodge, My heater selector is stuck at the feet position and now my intensity selector works intermittent... Im guessing the unit with the selectors need to be changed? Anyone have these issues before? This is a truck that was sitting for 3 years. Window slightly open. Collected sand and dirt inside

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum Lee.

What year is your truck? The controls changed in '01 to electric from the vacuum operated controls in earlier models.

Given the "storage" conditions there may be nothing more than accumulated junk in the doors. Unfortunately I believe the only way to access them might be a dash removal, not exactly a simple job. And like 00DakDan said, the earlier ones were vacuum controlled and that alone might be part of the problem. Junk in the doors isn't easily crushed out of the way.
