I am new to the Viper world and own a 2002 GTS F.E.. I noticed that when my heat/A.c. control is in the Vent position that the blend control for the hot/cold seems to do absolutely nothing. No matter if it's on cold or hot the air is the same temp.
If I switch it over to the heat or defrost side, I can adjust the temperature with the control.

Is mine broken? Or is that just the way it works?:dunno:

The way it works. Heat only works on heat or defrost. The air ducting blocks out the heat on other settings.

So whyTF would you want heat blowing in your face in Texas?

Dave, I'll take your purposeful omission of green as friendly joshing but have to point out that should you ever venture from your subtropical climate you will need something to cover your ears also. Here's my travel kit:

50F and you're cold???? Hell. When it hits 50 here we put shorts and tee shirts on and go to the beach. LOL.. We have had a brutal winter here. It was -30 to -40 here for weeks this winter. With the windchill we had days of -56C. Even now its still cold. -22C and -30 with the windchill. I'm still 2 months from even seeing my viper let alone driving it. Enjoy the balmy 50F weather. We could only wish for that warm..haha.

I had my heater blazing one the way back from the cruise-in. I think mittens would be cool with an ACR stripe on the left hand. This freakin sub-80 stuff *****!!!
