Hi: On the back of the heater control unit are vacuum lines, make sure plug is firmly attached. FIRST though check if vehicle does not go into 4WD high. If not then you probably have a vacuum problem under the hood as vacuum controls heater, 4WD and other functions. Check to make sure vacuum lines under the hood are all attached starting with the vacuum pod (located in front L fender by brake module.) and chasing them under the hood. If you have vacuum then check heater control module and lastly heater door vacuum actuators. Hope this helps.

I have a 2007 dodge 2500 diesel and the heater will only heat up to a very light heat.

Mode Door 1.
a.This door regulates air flow to either the dash vents or defrost/floor. If you have air flowing only through the vents with no defrost or floor, this door is failing. From our experience, this door is usually the first domino to fail. Not sure why, just is.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.Mode Door 2.
a.When mode door 1 is set to divert air away from the vents and into the second stage of the system, door #2 chooses whether air goes to the defrost vents to the windshield or out through the floor vents in the passenger and driver's side footwells. Failure is indicated by an inability to choose between defrost and floor.
b.This door turns out to be the most difficult to replace. In order to replace the door, the dash panel has to be removed. It's still better than the dealer fix because you don't have to evacuate the AC system, drain the radiator, and remove the plenum box. But it is more work than the other fixes. When this door breaks, it falls in the down position, blocking the floor vents and diverting all air through the defrost vents. From a safety standpoint, this is good since you'd most likely rather have a clear windshield than warm feet. We suspect that a large percentage of customers will just leave this door unrepaired. You will have heat through the dash vents and to the windshield, just nothing to the floor. It's inconvenient, but you'll have to make the determination if warm feet are worth the extra work to fix the door. An extra pair of socks is easier.

I drive a 2004 silverado 1500 and the 10A fuse keeps blowing for the vent selector. It'll get stuck on one mode. (Either defrost, or feet, or something). It on its third fuse in a month. The AC works...

Sounds like a bad actuator, the actuator is a small motor used to control a door in the heater box, there are a few doors to control temp of air and then one for mode (location of air blowing out ) and one for recir. try to locate and unplug it and replace the fuse and see if that stops the fuse from popping if it does then replace the actuator.

Vent/heat/defrost broken Volvo 760

I have the same car and had the same problem. The inside air intake for the heater system is located above the passenger's feet. An empty plastic bag got sucked in there and kept the door from moving properly. I had to take off a few panels, then one on the vent. Once I removed the bag, no problem.
