Hello

This is normally caused by a failed or clogged heater core. If it is clogged than you may even notice some engine overheating. If the heater core is not clogged but has just failed than only issue would be no heat.

You need a heater core. Bottom line, the dash needs to come out. If you'd like I can walk you through the general process, but it will take you about 8 hours to do. Let me know.

Depends on the cause. First feel the upper radiator hose once the engine has warmed up. It should be too hot to hold onto for very long. If it is not, suspect the thermostat. If it is, feel the heater hoses. If they're cool, suspect a plugged heater core or, if your car uses one, the water control valve might not be opening. If those hoses are hot, suspect an actuator problem with the heater box. Ford does have more than their share of actuator problems.

Your car does not have a heater control valve the problem is most likely the temperature blend door actuator has gone out and needs replace. Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the repair.

Try warming the Vehicle, then carefully feel the heater hoses, are they both hot? If one is cooler than the other, You need to flush the core, or a replacement job on the heater core.
It's possible that the temperature blend door is stuck. The shaft it swings on is metal, and over time they tend to rust and binde up, operated the temp knob while you look for or feel for the actuator that moves that door, some actuators ar vacuum operated, some electrical. Either these motors, called servo motors can go bad or the above mentioned issue! If the shaft is frozen, try a small drill bit at the base of the shaft, drill thru the plastic and spray some white lithium grease in there, if you can move it by hand, so much the better! Work it back and forth till it moves freely!
Try this press off and floor at the same time, then within 2 seconds press auto, if it comes up with a fault code post it here.

Hers the in depth testing in case you need it...
