its probably just the door that moves when you turn the knob...maybe whatever attaches the knob to the door got loose? i'll take a look at my car tomorrow and tell ya what i find out(assuming that our problems are the same)

the reason why the heat was only coming out of the front vents is because a cable on the back of the heater control was bent.

that cable is a cheap part to buy. it is only a $10-$15 part to buy. that will fix your heater.

bringing this back from the dead.

Just recently my cable broke and when I have my heat turned on I cannot control where the heat comes from, it just comes out the directional vents. How do I go about replacing this? can I di it from where the control switched are or do I have to pull a bunch of plastic out and get under the dash? also anyone know the cable part #?
