Default Heater Problem

It was a bit cold here in San Francisco last night, so instead of rolling up my windows I decided to turn the heater on. Turned the dial to between 60 and 75 and nothing cut cold air; up to 75 and still cool air; had to go to almost 90 before I got anything close to heat came out of the system.

I'm sure most of you haven't even tryed the heating system but was wondering if mine is the only one not working right.

Probably taking it in next week for my first maintainance so I'll have them check it out.

From what I understood, those are temps, 60 - 75 degrees - 90 degrees....therefore I would expect cool air from 60 - 75 not hot or warm. But I could be wrong.

Haven't had that problem, but I have noticed that when the AC is off and I just have the fan on bringing in outside air (not recirc) that the air is real humid. It's like it's always on recirculate. When I switch between recirc and outside air, I hear the ducting switch over, but unless the AC is on, the windows fog. Shouldn't really happen on a 70 degree day in SoCal.

Make sure the AC light on the right **** is not on. If it's on press in the center of the right **** to turn it off. Then when you crank up the temperature guage, it should heat up.

Uhh, in order for you to get heat, the engine needs to be at operating temperature, its not like your heater at home.

Also, if you put it at 60, that calls AC.
60F. Unless you thought it was Celsius, in which case the 90 on the dial = almost boiling.
