Oh-you have electronic controls-I don't know too much about those,except I think vacume still operates the dampers-electric valves operated by control head switching the vacume ...Nice radio BTW Hopefully someone who knows firebird electronic controls will seethis and chime in...

Re: loose my ventilation and heater

look around underhood for a disconnected vacume line since the trouble started with the coolant flush and also if no heat,might have "air lock"situation in heater core coolant path after the coolant flush-perhaps someone here knows how to bleed a late model thirdgen heater that uses the shutoff valve.

Re: loose my ventilation and heater

Hello,

My heater don't give heat... The ventilation is Ok, I removed the cover under the dashboard and when I active the buttom cold/heat, we hear a noise on the motor on the right(on picture) but without the rod or arm moving ? how the rod move ? with this motor and open the door for an access to the heat ?

The motor make some noise but nothing to move, possible to find one ? I don't find on rockauto, someone know this piece ?

Re: loose my ventilation and heater

The vaccum line, if yours still uses one, comes off the back of the engine and goes into the fire wall. Should be a hard plastic line.
