Sooo, took my benz off the road due to an issue i had a few years back with no heat, drove it in the summers, and my other car in the winter. so now my lil black saturn is dying (figures) so i'm wondering what is wrong with my heat again.
heres my post from a few years back:

I get heat at the heater core inside the car, just no air circulates past it.
I have removed the glovebox insides, and I can see the recirc/vent vacuum pod, and a pink vacuum pod that moves a linkage, but that doesn't seem to actuate anything.
Should this pink vacuum pod be moving something?

Is the pink pod the heater "door" control?

Thanks,
Tom


Only things id like to bring out differently is i can reach up where there are some brass/copper lines (I'm assuming thats the heater core) and those definetly get very hot when the car is warm, but i get no heat from the vents. i would like to disassemble as much of the blower motor/ductwork as possible just because the scent seems to indicate a mouse nest in there...

Got any ideas on whats wrong with the heat? any suggestions on removing mouse remnants? i'd like to avoid removing the entire dash as i've read about having to remove the windshield...

Thanks,
Tom
