SOURCE: 2006 Chevy Impala Heater only works when accelorater is depressed

Impalas are known for this issue, where the heating won't work properly.... usually caused by trapped air/bubbles in cooling system or slightly low coolant level. Park car so that the right front side is elevated and remove the coolant OVERFLOW bottle cap (NEVER the radiator cap) while engine is running.. This should allow the trapped air to escape. Also add a bit more coolant if needed.

SOURCE: 1996 chevy blazer my air on heater will not blow

the idea of the switch is run on vacuum and is not making contact with the switch it self either worn contacts in the switch itself **** as an obstruction as well or the vent door is stuck in just that position either behind the glove box or the ash tray are the vacuum lines one of them may be pinched off or the door needs a bit of help until you can free it up

SOURCE: 2004 Chevy Impala no heat from defrost or heater

No heat is often a symptom of low coolant, usually followed by overheat. There are other controls that regulate heater, but right now, re-fill the cooling system with engine running and heater on high, then check for leaks (coolant you lost went somewhere...you need to determine where) Low coolant will damage your engine. Take care of that first, then if heater still does not work, then do diagnosis on that. (if you loose the engine heat won't matter, will it!)

Why doesnt cooling fan come on with heater on but comes on with defroster on a 1996 ford thunderbird

The cooling fan should come on when the coolant temp reaches around 200 degrees F. regardless of what position the heater switch is in.

The fan comes on when the defrost is on because the defrost automatically turns on the A/C. The A/C dries the incomming air to help clear the windshield.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

A/C will only blow through defrost vents

Common question on this site. On late model cars, the vents are controlled by blend door motors. Small electric motors open and close doors to direct air flow.
Chances are you have a blend door that is stuck or a failed motor.
The default position is the defrost to make sure the windshield is always clear.
Someone will need to look behind the dash to see if all of the doors will move on demand.

I have an 2006 chevy Impala when I turn on the deforst it also turns on the air condition and blows cold air I change the thermostat

When you turn on the front window defroster, the A/C compressor is suppsed to engage.
If all of the guages are set to hot and the A/C is off when the defroster is turned on and the vehicle is at normal operating temp., then you may have a faulty blend door actuator and needs to be replaced.

My 2001 Sebring blows hot air except when I turn the control knob to defrost, then it blows cold air and the condenser fan kicks on . Chrysler has already replaced the evaporator core and that did not fix...

If the ac is turned on and it comes threw the defrost,then it is not the cooling fans,but check them to see that they are coming on,and they are turning fast,the control head is more likely the problem.

Defrost not working well, amount of air blowing is low. Acts like a blockage problem, all other parts of the heater system works fine.

While in defrost mode press and engage a/c button on dash(leave in hot air position) and see if that helps with defrost issue. What this does is with a/c operating it removes moisture from the air in car which is all fogged windows are is humidity build up.Dont worry cold air wont blow through vents even though a/c on due to position of hot/cold adjuster.

Air Fan and Defrost only works on Position 4.

reostat broken,look in air income,locate,remove,look for fuse wire on the device,if electroic,replace all,
but initial problem is that the fan blower does not work well,take apart,clean and grease,
it makes the reostat burn when the fan does not start quick enough
