Ernie:
Not that important at all - welcome to the club! Mine
hasn't worked in 15 years - same symptoms as yours.
My guess is a gummed up fan motor.
I actually got all excited last year when I had the
whole dash area apart while replacing the crash pads.
I got in there and sprayed everywhere I could inside
the heater box with WD-40 hoping to free up whatever
was frozen. Nothing.
So on we go another 15 years getting free-flow heat on
those cold days only when moving forward. The way it
should be anyway I guess.
