I had a similar problem. For me, it was a problem with the heater flap. This flap is actuated by the dial just under the center vents ( on a 2003 RR ). This is the dial with blue and red dots. The dial pushes and pulls on a cable which, in turn rotates a cam located on the passenger (right) side of the center console, down low, right where the heater duct for the passenger floor connects. I had to remove the glove box to get access to the screw holding the cam on.

etischer many thanks for your reply but think that rotor with the blue and red dots should work since if u will shift from 3 red dots to one red dot then u can feel that air is coming out is less hot.(but still i will give a check)

Are you sure that the valves controlling coolant to the heater matrix are working properly? Or that they are gettin. The correct signal. I found that the heat of the engine made the connector and wire brittle. V8 or else ... |

My thought is that when on full hot, it'll be sending a full voltage to the valve and any mid setting will be a proportion of that full voltage. If the wiring or connection isn't just right, then that proportional voltage may not be getting to the valve right, and so no hot coolant through.

Fisha checked plug/cables in valve and seems to be quite ok.Wondering if there is any possibility to be something wrong with heating control panel.I have noticed whenever tried to reduce temperature and system in auto,the blower speed increased.is this normal???is there any way to be checked????
