My HVAC Gate-selector froze up the other day; you'd go to try and change the blower up to the windshield for defrost and it'd spring back to the floor/blower vent. Trying the second time to make it select up to windshield defrost, I hear a snap, and now it won't do anything.

I searched the forums and found a few odds and ends but what I need is a fast solution. I can't defog my windshield and I was supposed to be down in denver like two days ago. I tried a dashboard heater, but it didn't do anything for defogging the windshield so it went back to the store.

Anyone here know of a way to FORCE the gate selector up to the windshield so it will stay defrosted just until I can get it into the shop to have the cable fixed up?

If you pull the side panel in front of the cosole off I think the lever is on the passenger side, You might give that a try.

Thanks for the response. Can you clear something up for me though? You say "Pull the side panel in front of the console"

So...

Remove the dash pad, and the front bezel over the radio/cluster, or am I in the wrong spot? I will try this out tomorrow, if I can just get it to point at the windshield I'll be golden
