Description of the problem	The heat would not always work. It would blow cold air. Sometimes i could move the knob around and it would come back on but it didn't always work like that. I googled the problem and came up with more than a dozen people with the same problem. They dealer said the part was over $600 to replace, then on top of that, the decal was going to cost another $30. One of the google searches had a fix for it. It involved removing the glovebox and pulling the circuit board out. They said there would probably be a wire that was broken off and sure enough there was. My husband soldered it back on, put the boar back in, and it works like a charm now.
