Default Heater Question

Tadge,

I just bought a new convertible.

If the top is down the heater works just fine in manual mode. (dial set to 89 air is measured at 150 degrees)

The second you push the button to open/stow ragtop the heater starts blowing air at 90 degrees a 60 degree difference

I have now seen this on my Vett and another one I looked at a dealer not to far from my house today.

I need someone to call me so I can give them all the details of my test...Why can't i get the heater to work in Manual Mode with the top stowed in the trunk....make no sense...I live in Ohio and we might have 45 nice days a year...THANKS!!



Scott

Sorry I didn't see this question earlier; it's not going to be sent to Tadge. No one from GM is going to call you directly; sorry. Please work through the troubleshooting with a local dealer or the wealth of information available here on the forums.

Thanks for blocking my question to Tadge.

Dealer that I purchased car from is very small and they have no clue about this issue...they are trying to get a hold of a engineer at GM...but were not getting any help from them.

This is a cross-post. One thread should be enough for this.

I have never noticed a difference in the way the heater/AC behaves when the top is up vs down.
