Heater doesn't blow hot after airbag removal
I need your guys help on finding out why my heater doesn't work. It was perfectly fine and blew hot air, all before I removed my driver and passenger side airbag (weight reduction )
The blower works right now, and blows out lots of air.....just cool air and not hot. I mainly need it for defrost. Is their a connection somewhere behind/underneath the dash I might of disconnected? Whats the best way I can troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance!

I don't see how you could have messed it up, but then again I'm not familiar with its routing on this car, but there is a a cable (similar to a throttle cable in design) that runs from the hot/cold **** to a valve that lets coolant flow into the heater core, you have likely either damaged this cable or knocked it off one end, resulting in turning the **** having no effect. I did something like this once on my first honda.

yes. I recall there is a plastic cover around that bearing and shaft that you can take off to expose the mechanism where the cable attaches the flapper. It might be able to see it "work" with that cover off - but be careful. There's a spring in there that will pop out if you operate the mechanism too roughly with the cover off.

Now is the white center piece suppose to move when I turn my heater control ****? Because mine is not....
Also, does the car need to be running? Or just ignition on to test it?
