I don't know if the heater design on 2nd gen is similar or not to 3rd gen 4Runners.

But on the 3rd gen 4Runners there is a cable that controls the heater air bypass flap door.. If that cable slips out of its bracket, you won't get any heat even though the heater core is hot.. All the air is bypassing around the core..

Happened on my 3rd gen... On it the cable is exposed on the outside of the heater especially on the bottom where a passenger could inadvertently kick and pop it out of the bracket that holds it in position..

something simple as the cable case cracking and not allowing the door to kick completely open. damn... it works.

Wowser. Thanks for posting back! Was it in the same place Dande described?

Same cable. the casing had cracked on it and limited it's range of motion, or so i tell myself..
