If the heater core is not getting hot, there is a blockage in it and will have to be backflushed or replaced to repair this problem.

Heater hose diagram 1999 Chevy Venture with rear heat and air.

I couldn't find a heater hose diagram specific to the 1999 Chevrolet Venture with rear heat and air, but I can give you the general location of the heater hoses and how to identify which ones go to the rear heat. The heater hoses on a 1999 Chevy Venture are located on the passenger side of the engine compartment. There are two heater hoses, one that is hot and one that is cold. The hot heater hose will be connected to the heater core, which is located under the dashboard. The cold heater hose will be connected to the engine. To identify which heater hose goes to the rear heat, you can look for the hose that is connected to the heater core outlet that is labeled "Rear Heat." The other heater hose will be connected to the heater core outlet that is labeled "Heating Core Inlet." Once you have identified the heater hoses that go to the rear heat, you can reconnect them to the heater core. Be sure to use new clamps when you reconnect the hoses. Here are the steps on how to replace the heater hoses on a 1999 Chevy Venture with rear heat and air: Disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the coolant from the radiator. Remove the heater hoses from the engine and heater core. Install the new heater hoses. Fill the cooling system with coolant. Reconnect the battery cable. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Would bypassing the heater core pose any problems to my engine?

No. You eventually will need the heat to defrost and de ice the windshield though.

Heater core

heater core is spraying coolant because there is a line connected to your heater core that comes from your radiator witch is how your heater core gets its heat to defrost windows or heat your car via your motors coolant temperature that is why heat in your car is not instant when you turn it on and you have to wait for a min or two

My heater radiator is busted can i us ac heatre radiator for heat

The heater radiator (heater core) is what supplies the heat inside the cabin. The A/C core (evaporator) only cools the air, will not heat it.

The heat in our 1998 continetal doesn't work. We replaced our thermostat. Still on heat. The a/c works fine. The vehicle run fine without any sign of over heating. We can't undrestand why the car's heating...

Two possible reasons, one is that your heat control valve that directs hot coolant to the heater core may be stuck or blocked. Two, you may have an airlock in the heater core that prevents water getting in to the heater core. You need to let the air out by loosening the upper most hose that feeds the heater core.

When i turn on the heat, I smell antifreeze right away then it goes away

Your heater core is leaking. The heater core on your 2001 Jeep Cherokee is responsible for providing heat in the cab of your Jeep. Overtime, he heater core can become plugged with dust or corrosion and stop working causing it to leak. The heater core is linked with the antifreeze that runs in the radiator in turn draws heat from the engine and than uses that heat to warm up the car. Most heater cores are located under the dash on the passenger side. Here is a link for how locate and remove the heater core. http://www.ehow.com/how_5332477_remove-jeep-cherokee-heater-core.html

Good luck! :)

No heat/defrost 01 corolla

Sounds like you have air trapped in the heater core when you flushed the heater core. loosen the upper most heater core hose and run the engine untill coolant seeps out. Wait until the coolant has reached running temperature.

No heat in my dakota. flushed heater core and replaced therm with a reg one.

check for poor flow to heater core-change heater hoses -check for lime build up at intake connector or worn out water pump -if you only put water through core try using CLRlime cleaner in core-get two 6in pieces or heater hose hook them to core and pour it in and leave for 15 mins then wash out with water hose
