At least I can admit my shortcomings...
Just to update myself, I was wrong as the it wasn't switched off as I had thought. It was all the way over to the right in the "On" position. It just blows some warm air. No way it is "toasty" as DIgz mentioned. A couple of questions:
1)What temp should this put out if I test with IR sensor?
2)Should my Taurus radiator fan have any bearing on the way this puts out heat? I had my wife check from the passenger seat and unless she is mistaken, it immediately started blowing warm (from cold) on one occassion when I flipped the fan off from low speed. We tried it again later and nothing changed as it was warm already. Again, engine temps were running around 190-195 and temp outside was in the 40's.
3)The middle position "Air" will blow just as much the right position "On" at times. Is the "air" position just a low vs. "on" for high? My fan blower does appear to work.
If all this sounds like a bad core, that's understood. Just making sure and want to learn before I change it out.
