jr -
Heat has been "intermittent" lately (mostly NOT). My monovalve is in OK shape I but haven't pulled the connector on it. If that gives me heat, I guess its time to pull the console apart to see if ej's fix takes care of it. Intermittent kinda sounds like a bad connection (cross fingers, knock on burl wood).
Its not a critical issue at the moment because its been on the warm side here but I don't think the spousal unit will put up with it for long (good thing the seats are heated!

)
I have too much going on to look at it very soon (if it gets really cold, she can drive something else) - I'll watch the thread to see what you find.
