Recently purchased the "All American Dream Car" a Corvette of course. For me it is a 99 Pewter convert from Tennessee. On the way home to Indiana, I noticed that it had "zero" heat from the dual zone a/c. Once home, with the help of this forum, I pulled the HVAC codes 0363 & 0441. LH actuator out of calibration & out of range. Tried pulling fuses 18 & 27 but still the same result.

Today, after a bit of thought, I pulled & energized from fuse #27 about 6 times........VOILA HEAT! Maybe the previous owners never used the heat settings and the LH actuator just got stuck. The cycling may have swept the dirt/debris and/or just freed up the actuator. You need heat when it's 35 outside! Anyway, it saves me from having to pull the dash to get to replace it.

Now, if I can just figure out why I have blown fuses for the lumbar seating & cigarete lighter (#7)

I needed a car that would get my engineering logic working again. The kids are out of the house & I can think for myself again....plus all that spare time to tinker with my new toy!
