I have the Snowflake symbol on mine (99 CCSLT+) and have suspected them
same........ thinking I'm just getting a cool "vent" of air. I've got
1500 miles and the best MPG I've got has been 14.6 ( 80% of my driving is
Highway )
Now that you mention this interesting phenom I am going to test it
tonight...... hood open. Maybe the selector knob is not the problem but
the thermo knob ( with the blue to red little lines)
