| On an extremely cold morning (-22deg f) i started my 2000 toyota tundra access cab v8 and went to turn on heat. the temperature nob would not turn easily, but did turn, and made a snapping sound. the heat never came, though the fan did work and blew cold air. i have been working overseas and not requiring the use of the vehicle since this incident, and just found the cause of the error. the cables for the heat selector seized and the dash mechanism broke. after reading many other posts on this model, and other toyota models, they need to redesign the cable, the heat valve, the method the cable is secured and ensure that water is not penetrating the cable. the resulting problem is often not corrected properly by the dealers. i expect that this problem will cost at a minimum of $300 for the dash mechanism, $20 for each cable that may need to be replaced plus labor costs, more if it is not corrected properly the first time. | |||
