Default Heater **** Broke - How to manually set to full hot

Its canadian winter and my accord climate control just fell to ****. The **** and the metal broke off

Its cold as hell here and I think i have it like 1/2 way between hot and cold

Is there anyway to manually move it to full hot til I fix this ****?

Levers, triggers etc

hope someone can help

open the hood, and look for a heater hose going from the back passenger side of the block to the firewall, there should be a valve( box looking thing in black) on the valve theres a cable. pulll the cable manually one way and it should change the temp. hope this helps.

Push the valve toward the firewall for heat..

There is also a flap under the dash that the cable moves..
It is on the passenger side right behind the radio..

lol if you dont have that valve either you have full heat on ALL the time (i'd assume not the case or you wouldnt be asking about this) or you have no heater cor in your car and your fucked either way. If your car is RHD it may be in a slightly different place but it will still look the same. Just look for 2 hoses running into the firewall next to each other, one will have that valve.

Alrighty I did find it easily thanks to your pic

But what I dont get is that my car like doesnt make heat, its aparently on full heat based on that valve which is pretty much 90* to the hose.

But my car takes a solid 10 min before it produces anything remote WARM, not even like nice hot air, I would comprae it to peoples mid temperature on there *****.

Mind you it is about % degrees out right now

But the car doesnt make heat. Why?

cause u turned the valve off thats why.

it has to be facing the firewall.. inline with the hose, not 90 degrees to the hose././

there is also a lever right on the heater core. Go under the dash from the pass side and you will see a little lever, pull that one too.

Pinks, if you've done the Accord climate control swap (as I have also done), then you should know there are the 2 metal cables that connect to the back of the heat dial. Pull those out as far as you can and that's hot, push them in and that's cold.

Easiest way
