No Heat from center vents
Just thought I'd post this after doing a bunch of searching on this forum. When I purchased the 4.6, I noticed no heat out of the front center vents but scorching hot heat from the rear. After reading a bunch I found a thread where they mentioned a part coming off track behind the glovebox. Low and behold this was in fact the culprit. Glad to report I now have scorching hit heat from the front center vents. Just in time for the summer

Someone forgot to re-install the fresh air flap wire.

Isn't that what you had loose / not connected?
