Default A few questions for those who know 95 Silverados

I just purchased a 1995 Z71 Extended cab and it has a few issues that I would like to bounce off the experts here.

First, it seems to have a problem with the blend door actuator, it only blows on the floor, I tried disconnecting the battery for a while but it did'nt change it. I also removed and inspected it and could find no visible problems, just swap it out?

Second, drivers side power seat wont go forward or backward, it just makes a buzzing sound, ideas?

Third, seems to run too cold, hardly moves off the 100 mark and the heater dosent get very hot, I swapped out the thermostat and it did'nt change anything.

Fourth, drivers side power mirror only goes up and down and the passenger side wont move at all.

Thanks, I look forward to your responses.

just change the blend door actuator.
pull the seat motor out and check it for proper function
Your new thermostat might be stuck open
make sure the mirror is plugged in and then check the switch.

I will change out the acuator, any ide how much it cost?
Seat motor is actually three different motors, the center one seems to not engage causing the buzzing noise.
I didnt even look at the new theromostat before installing it, ASSumed it was closed.
I'll check the mirrors and report back.
Thanks for the advice, any others care to chime in?

Good day at the salvage yard, actuator swapped out and works like a champ now! I also found a indash CD player to replace the one that didnt work in my truck.
I couldnt get the gearbox assembly off the seat base! you can remove the three little motors but the gearbox is built into the seat?
I really cant drive the truck with the seat in its current position, please help any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I had my 95 since it was new, now it has 272K miles on it. What degree t-stat did you get? Did it have the rubber ring around the outer radius of the t-stat? Did the t-stat fit snugly into the intake?
