So last spring I took the entire dash out and performed all kinds of
maintenance: fixed the leaky flapper vents, replaced the blower motor
and the heater core, installed new MBC, took the wiper gear apart and
re-greased it, and several other things. But the main reason I decided
to get in there is that the footwell flap cable had bound up then broke.
Stuck partway open. I replaced the cable it and checked its operation,
then re-assembled the whole mess. It all worked like a charm although
the footwell flap control seemed a little tough to move.

Today I tried to open the footwell and it doesn't. The lever moves, the
stupid footwell flap stays closed. I can only get warm air out the
defogger vents.

Grrrrr.
