So I took off the hearter parts of my parts car and cleaned them all up and painted everything did the drivers side and decided to try it out..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) tempeture was about 60 outside last night and after running a few minutes the vent was putting out a weak 72 hardley any air movement. the flapper bos is working and in good condition and the dual fan blows out a fair amount of air, but it doesnt seem to make it up front... on chilly mornings and evenings I want some heat and defrost... this wont cut it in my opinion... what else has been done??? I had a crazy idea of a power inverter, and hair dryers behind the speakers, anyone done anything like this??? I have seen 12 volt hair dryers... what else has been done????? or what am I doing wrong ???? I know I have read many complaints about the heat but I had no idea it was that bad...

IIRC, the wires for the heater blower are different colors. Coming from the wiring harness there should be a brown (ground) wire and a green wire. From the fan, a brown wire and a yellow wire (or maybe it's the other way around).
