Probably the quickest fix... Drop the spare tire, reach up and turn the
valve that controls the coolant flow through the front heater core. The
control wires get bent over time and movement of the handles/levers
inside the vehicle on the dash do not close the valve all the way.
Manually close it and get it to seat in the closed position. That takes
care of the heat. The repair the cables at your leisure.
