I was out driving the car the last few days with the heat on high it has been cold up here. What I have noticed is a bit of a draft around my feet on the drivers side of the car. The passenger side is toasty warm but it gets alittle cool on the driver side. Any ideas as to what could be causing the cold air intrusion on the drivers side.


I try to set the temperature control so that the heat comes out at the lower region rather then just letting the climate control take over.

Due to the fact you have X-type, I don't think you have dual zone climate control. So if you are getting heat on one side and not the other, you may have faulty air discharge temp sensor on drivers side. Possible also that a blend door not moving to where it is supposed to. Maybe not enough flow through heater core so not enough heat reaching drivers side. Lots of possibilities. Hard to diagnose without being there for that one I am afraid.

 

I do get hot air out of the vent as I should. I just seem to have a cold draft coming form somewhere around my feet.

Have you had anything changed/added to your car through your firewall?

 

LOL....that is different. Totally misunderstood problem

THere is a collar around the lower steering column where it goes through body. If someone fixed your leaking oil pan, or had subframe out, they may not have installed that back in correctly.

 

You don't have an amp installed do you stryker?

 

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Power wire possibly run through the firewall that he may not know about?

 

Just throwing this out there, but can the cabin filter be accountable? Last time I checked under the hood, I could have sworn the filter was on the firewall passenger's side.

 

You are right. Filter on passenger side under cowl. However he getting draft on drivers side. I still think lower colum is exposed.

 

Any update stryker were all a little antsy...???
