Make sure the blower runs, then make sure the heat and ventilation control doors move as they should. If you have hot coolant flowing through the heater core, air flow through the core, and appropriate air flow path, then you will have heat.

    Thanks but have ensured all of that works except is their a seperate heat door, as all vent doors open fan is a ten speed with heaps of blow power and water is very hot, ford have been unable to sujest any thing else and allready spent heaps with them, but they cant tell me if their is a separate heat door or something i cat see??

  • dlinkhart Aug 12, 2010

    There are four doors. You should check the temperature blend door, which is third from the left, and actuated either by a cable (manual heat/AC) or an electric motor (electronic climate control). The other three doors are vacuum operated.

    Thank you again have just opened up heater core suround and found that the core is stone cold to touch even though both pipes in/out are red hot so guess their is a block in the core but still letting water flow through pipes. Will have to pull dash out then see if i can get the core out. Not looking forward to this one!

Overheating cooling runs into reservior 02 civic

I have ran into this problem before the heater system flows around the thermostat keeping it closed . Check heater valve in closed position that the outward hose is cold. Honda engineers think that you do not need the thermostat to open during winter operation. This allows the car to get interior heat faster.

2001 mk triton 3.0 litre v6 no heat from heater hoses are hot going through engine over heats while idling got new t-stat in

is there an air bleed on top of the thermostat housing? If not, when it's cool, remove the radiator cap and start engine.
Let it run until water rises up to top edge of radiator cap lip.
A little air in the cooling system can cause this problem.

once the water rises to the top, put the cap on and shut engine off.

If you see a bleed screw on top of the waterneck/thermostat housing, just loosen it a little at a time while the engine is running and warm.

If you see air bubbles, let it keep going until its a smooth flow of water.

DO NOT REMOVE ALL THE WAY.

this is all assuming that your fan and water pump are working fine.

Keep spilled coolant away from pets. poison.

1995 jeep cherokee heater problems

Get jeep up to operating temp
Turn on heater to max heat
Hood feel 2 heater core hoses goint into upper passenger side of engine compartment firewall.
They should feel too hot to hold
If it's not hot, could be 6 things
1. heater control valve is bad
2. Vacuum to heater control valve is bad
3. clogged heater core.
4. Bad thermostat
5. Bad waterpump
6. Needs more coolant (check when system is cold)

Do these things:

1. Disconnect vacuum line from control valve and feel under valve to manually move valve to open position. This should let hot water flow through core. If you now have heat inside, replace the heater control valve. Or you can disconnect the plunger on the heater control that is hooked on to the silver bar on the bottom of it. With it disconnected you can manually move it to the open position. It will always remain on.

2. When system is cold, disconnect both heater hoses going to heater core. hook up a water hose to one side of heater core and flush out any gunk. When you get done, the water should run clear. If you see lots of gunk come out, that was probably the problem. Replacement is like $20-30

3. When system is hot and engine running, squeeze the upper radiator hose (using gloves) when you release it you should feel a surge of water. Proves your water pump is working. If no surge, check thermostat. If thermostat checks good, look at the weep holes at the bottom of the water pump for traces of antifreeze. If you see a trace or stream of coolant, indicates bad pump.

4. As far as testing the thermostat, watch as your engine heats up on the gauge. when it gets to a certain point you will see the temperature rise, then lower, then rise again. This means your thermostat opened properly, cooling the system temporarily, then heated it back up. Replacement is around $5

Try these and see how it goes.

We live in a cold climate. Our 1998 GMC Jimmy Heater will not provide cabin heat. The engine warms normally. We replaced the thermostat just to make sure the coolant was warm enough. The blower operates...

UNHOOK BOTH HEATER HOSES AND FLUSH OUT HEATER CORE
DO IT FOWARD AND BACK FLUSH / COVER DIST. CAP OR YOU WILL
FILL IT WITH WATER / IF IT CLEARS OUT HOOK HOSES BACK UP AND
BLEED AIR OUT OF SYSTEM / IF IT DOES'T CLEAR OUT HEATER CORE
WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED (DASH COMES OUT TO DO HEATER CORE)

1995 Chrysler Cirrus overheating

Probably not water pump. Engine is notourious for vapour lock.
Cooling system must be blead of air before thermostat will work. Cool bottom rad hose is a dead give away. If you are still watching this forum reply , and I will walk you through the only way I know how to make it work properly. It's actually easy if you do it my way. I have worked on lots of cars , and this engine was the hardest to bleed out. Did one Yesterday , and works perfect.

My cars interior is not being heated. I was tod that it was the waterpump, could it be the theremostat. The car is a 02 Intrepid 3.5L engine.

Okay, The water pump is more than likely okay but at this point I would not rule it out completely. One simple check to see if the water pump is moving water and that the thermostat is opening and closing is to take off the radiator cap when the car is cold. Start the car and stand at a point where you can see down in the neck of the radiator without looking straight down into it. When the thermostat opens you will see the coolant level change dramatically when the thermostat opens, you should be able to see the coolant being pumped through the coolant tubes in the radiator. IF you see the coolant level change and then see the coolant being pushed through the coolant tubes, then the water pump and thermostat are probably okay. If they appear to be working okay then the next thing is to check the heater hoses to see if they get warm. Do not grab either one while the car is at normal temp as they can be very hot. Let the car cool down for about a half an hour then see if they are both warm. If they are, then I would move to the inside of the car and check the heater controls. There may be a malfunction in them. The reason for this logic is that if the water pump is not operating properly or the thermostat is not functioning properly, Chrysler will usually turn on the check engine light indicating a problem. They have sensors in the engine that tell if the coolant is to cold or to hot (these are not 100% accurate but in most cases are). The heater controls on the other hand are not tied into the check engine light so if there is a problem there, you will have to do some digging to find the problem. If the heater one of the heater hoses is cold and the other is warm after running the engine then the heater core is probably plugged up not allowing the hot water to move through the core to produce heat.

Heater is not heating, fan blows,thermostat is set correctly, but no heat?

First make sure it is full of fluid......many times I have seen this to be the prob. If not,your heater valve may be stuck or broke. Hope this helps. Check to see all the vacum hoses are connected under hood at valves too.

NO heat.... Just is blowing cold air, never warms up. Do I just need to change the thermostat or is this going to be a bigger job? And where in the hell is the thermostat!?!?! (yeah, I have worked on allot...

Forget the Thermostat.
Start with no $.
Check Heater Core, leaks in rubber hoses ( they go to the firewall, should be hot when touch them (2) ) Coolant Level.

No heat! changed fluid, thermostat. Was going to check control valve but don't know where it is. if that is not the prob should I change the core

This problem is one i have encountered on a number of vehicle not just your brand. The problem seams to be in the controls switches and sending units. you have change lot of parts but did you check to see if you had flow through the heater core.Remove the heater hose's from the engine going to the fire wall. This is not precise in how you get the hoses off, however you do it? Once the hoes are off take a garden hose and try to run water throught the heater core. If you do not have a flow you need to find the closed valve. You may need to block off the hoses to the engine so you can run it for a vacume system. You may need to cut and put splices in the water hoses to do this. As a lot of engines you can not get to the end of the hoses.
This is not a simple fix as you would think. As i have found the heater hoses are getting warm or hot with the engine running but it is still cold inside the car. The word is no water flow no heat and if you have flow you have a vent door stuck closed. Air conditioner controls can have effect also. you may also may need to check the water pump out put to the heater core. This needs to be done with all the anitfreeze removed so as not to lose it on the ground. If you do remove the anitfreeze you can check the heater core flow by only removing 1 (one ) hose for the firewall to the heater. if you have hose off remember to put the garden hose in the radiator with it one as not to over heat the engine while it is running. you had heat before it a matter of tracking down where the flow has stop or the cause like a bad switch, broken wire or vacume hose.
good luck
