Interesting Heater Malfunction. Any Ideas ???!
Hi everyone,
On a recent ski trip to Vermont, the heated on my 1994 90Q would not
work.
Needless to say, it got quite a bit cold and uncomfortable. I stopped
and checked the coolant, hoses (all the obvious things) and everything
looked fine. I basically gave up and decided to take another look at
it the next morning. Conditions continued to deteriorate until I found
myself entering a stretch of high way covered with a thick layer of
ice that had created an unbelievable obstacle course. One of the bumps
was so deep that I ran out of suspension travel and the chassis
received a pretty hard jolt. Sure enough as soon as I emerged from
this stretch of high way, the heater began to work !!!
I think that the thermostat must have become stuck and the big jolt
knocked it free. Could there be another explanation for this behavior?
Has anybody had a similar experience? Any hints would be appreciated.
