Default heater control vacumn

My heater quit switching between def. floor etc. It stays on the front dash outlets. I can hear a hissing from behind the dash.


Would my heater control unit be leaking or something else.

1999 S10 Blazer 2 door LS auto 4x4.

It definitely sounds like you have a vacuum leak behind the dash. Time to get under there and have a look.

So the leak is internal to the HVAC control head? If so, then you likely will need to find a replacement, either new or used.

The manual heater control is fairly common. I would check with some junkyards in your area before dropping that kind of money on the part.

Anybody that would like to know new heater control assembly fixed the problem. No more hiss at the switch.
