Do you have to pull the dash, or is this the one they say to pull the glove box to get to easier?

The heater isn't blowing out any heat. I am researching and I keep finding its my heater core is what keeps popping up but the truck never over heats. With my experience with vehicles is that a heater core blows out steam through the defroster vents and then heats up the engine real fast. Stuck we just got this SUV too. Stumped.

First, check the heater hoses at the core. They both need to be hot. If one is hot and one cold, the heater core is clogged.

If they are both hot, then the blend door motor has failed.

You can flush the heater core by using a garden hose and flow both ways.

The blend door motor is much tougher.

Hi. I have a 1999 Ford Expodition and the A/C works great, but when you switch it over to the heater it still blows cold air. I was woundering if you could help me. I;m guessing its the theromstat or the heater door not opening. Not sure.

Yes it is more than likely a mixing door. And they will have to take the dash apart. But I would definitely get several opinions. The dealer is very very expensive and you could save several hundred dollars, going elsewhere. So check it out.

Feel the heater hoses at the bulkhead when the engine is hot. Both hoses should be hot. With the engine running, move the temperature control lever/**** completely both directions. You should hear the blend doors in the airbox moving. If not, check the connections, wiring, and vacuum lines. Make sure the vacuum lines are drawing a vacuum. If so equipped, make sure the heater control valve just inside the engine compartment is operating properly when the temperature control is moved. Make sure the cooling system is full and the thermostat is operating properly (look in the radiator with the engine one and at temperature-this will also tell you if the water pump is working properly).

The first thing I would do is make sure both your heater hoses going into the heater core are getting really hot when the engine is up to normal operating temp.

What can a backyard mechanic do to fix or replace the heater core. How can I disconnect the power for my heater core for the mean time, till I am ready to have it fix.
