My friends have a 2000 Ford Taurus. They have not had heat for a while now. They have changed the thermostat, flushed the heater core and they know that everything is going through the heater core properly. I have the suspicion that the temperature control door inside the heater/air-conditioning box is stuck to the A/C setting. Does anyone know how to manually adjust this to make it be on the heat setting?

Your thinking is right, they have a tsb out for a blend door sticking and it’s an not an easy job, sometimes you can sneak your hand up there and move it by hand, the prob is the door warps and sticks in the passage to hard for the arm to move it. Usually not to hard for a hand though… Good luck

I’m not sure where it’s located on your car but I know you will have to go in and prop it open or closed with something, preferably something like a gum consistency. When you do that though they will only be able to have heat. Then in the summer you can switch it and it will only have air. But will work until you save up for it, its about $700 to fix. Fords, I think, are notorious for this problem

Open the glove box and squeeze the sides inward and remove.then you can get to the blend door.
Check this those blend/diverter doors malfunction a lot.
