Can anyone give me an idea where the floor heat vacuum pod lives under the dash of a 124? I've got heat out the side vents and defroster but nothing going to the floor. I'm assuming that the pod for the heat flaps to the floor is bad. Can I get to this without removing the dash. I've fixed a 123 from the side panels. Is the 124 set up the same way? It's too darn cold to drive without floor heat. A hot torso and frostbit legs just doesn't get it.
