> OK list,

  I had my syncro out for a 1 hour ride yesterday, to monitor
 the heater, and inside temperature. My findings lead me
 to believe that the fresh air vents in the ceiling on both
 sides have cold air coming out, as I drove or run the front
 blower. This air is controlled by the very bottom dash lever.
 Ever since I bought this Vanagon, this lever has never
 seem to move completely free. I  traced the cable,
 concluding that something inside the heater box
 is blocking the closure of this vent. Anybody have any
 idea as to what  is going on in here. Anyone who has
 replaced there front fan motor, find   any obvious
 reason for this?

 In my old Vanagon I remember when turning the fan from
 off the high, you could here a door flop. In this Vanagon
 you don't here this. I wonder if ths has anything to do
 with it.
