Hey guys it's starting to get cold here. I have a 2002 Dakota. The other day I just realized that the heat isn't working. Actually my 6 year old son brought the problem to my attention. I get heat and I can warm the truck but the problem is the only place it will blow out is through the defrost. If I change the knob to the other settings like, feet or anywhere else it still only comes out the defrost. Does that sound like it is a problem with the control and if so do you think a 6 year old could fix it?

I am having the same heat problems. No heat and even my temp gauge is hardly raising about 130 degrees. Heater core probs and thurmostat probs?

I don't think so because my gauge goes up and the heat coming out is hot. In fact I have to turn it down after awhile. I just can't get it to shift between the defrost on top and the floor.

If your engine coolant temp isn't getting hot enough your thermostat is stuck open. So naturally the fluid going to the heater core isn't hot enough to heat the cab.

Sounds like a vacuum leak to your HVAC controller. Most will default to the defrost position if unhooked from the engine vacuum source. This kind of makes sense from a safety standpoint. I would look for a vacuum hose disconected from the manifold.
