For some reason the dash heater vents in my 91 festiva only blow cold air. the defrost and floor settings blow nice hot air but as soon as i switch it to the dash it just blows out whatever temperature the air is outside. what could be causing this? it's done it ever since i got the car, i've just been running floor and de frost settings but now i'm kinda wondering what's going on with it.

Every new festiva owner notices this. Its a 90's car with 60's heater technology. Thats the way they are.

There is no fix. I have tried to rig it up so heat would come out of them and cant find a way of doing it.IF you never succed at what you are trying to do then maybe failur is your styleComment

Just buy a saspce heater that plugs into your cigarette lighter.Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.Comment

This is strictly my opinion. I don't like to run additional accessories thru my cigarette lighter. Reason being, if you have a wiring problem, you could have a melting wireloom nightmare. I recommend adding a fused socket from the battery. Lower risk of problems.Originally posted by brickdog2000 View PostENFORCER - Midwest Festiva Inc., Iowa

Yep, I went thru this wild goose chase recently when I bought my first FestivaOriginally posted by Bazzy16 View Post
('90) with 49K miles, yellow that I bought from the estate of a friend. He was 93 years old and owned the car since new. Got it from his daughter for $400.
Then a friend from Georgia told me that the dash vents don't put out any heat.
DUH!
I was working on the haet because the heat sensor for the gauge went bad on my way over to Raleigh for the Festiva rally in October.
So far I have replaced the thermostat, the radiator fan relay and I have the gauge relay but can't get to threlay for it, need a long #10 socket.
Good luck with your future adventures in the Festiva world.
