- 2010 Explorer XLT
OK gents, help me out here. My 2010 Explorer blew a small coolant hose. It was the smallest one coming from the top of the thermostat housing. I got the hose from a ford dealer, which was impossible to find after market, and installed it. Vehicle does not over heat, temp holds steady and it takes the normal time to get up to temp but I now have no heat. I know the blend door actuator needs replaced, which luckily the 2010 model has an access port that allows me to fix the issue without tearing the dash or console out. I have not replaced the actuator yet but will this week. I'm not certain that will fix my problem.
I have no coolant leaks that I can see, the thermostat was removed and checked and it is not stuck. I'm hoping this is a clog and I won't have to replace the heater core. I hate to say this but I'm about done with this Explorer. She's been a good car but she's nickle and diming me to death. It's our family truckster and she's been down for most of the year. I still have a left front hub assembly and tie rods to install on both sides. The tie rods are mostly preventative maintenance because I got a good deal on them.
