My 2002 Tribute heater works. The drivers side stays nice and warm, but the passenger feet side is cold. Need help in figuring this out. Can the Temperature Bleed Door be the problem? The air will come out the vents and defrost, just not out the passenger feet area. Has over 145,000 miles.
thanks

The system does not differentiate between drivers floor and passenger floor so something must be blocking air flow through the right floor duct. The doors have a foam tape on them to seal. Maybe one came off and is plugging the right floor vent. Locate the outlet and start digging.

 

Thanks for the reply. i will look into that the next time I'm under the dash.

I have owned a Tribute new from 2004. Recently the heater has stopped working. Any ideas?

 

Please elaborate. Does the fan blow? Does it only blow cold air? Does it switch modes? Like floor/vent/defrost?
