heater

So, my vent selection not working anymore. I can turn it on and turn off by the switch. In every position it blows on the windshield, on legs and to the 2nd row from the middle bar. I've removed glove box and checked the vac lines and they seems to be fine. I've found actuator that operates the...

A/C wasn’t blowing very hot, my friend who’s more experienced in A/C said we should add Freon. So we did and as we were putting it in, the engine started to slow down and almost die then click and go back up while idling. The words of my friend who, knows more about A/C since I’m clueless says...

I have a 2006 mercury mountaineer, 4.0. I am in the process of replacing the heater control valve and noticed the coolant line that runs behind the alternator and to the thermostat is very rusty/ needs replacing. I can't find the same part in a parts diagram or on rockauto etc. Has anyone...

Suddenly, from one day to the next, my 2006 Ford Explorer overheated. The mechanic says that I need a new heater hose which is like "one giant octopus". Cost for labor and part is $650. Does any of this seem normal?

2009 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 200412 miles Heater only works sometimes. If there is a loud flapping/clacking sound coming from the lower part of the center of the dash, then I know the blower will blow hot air. If the sound is a light clicking or no sound at all, it blows air that same temperature...

Hey, I got a 1995 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. when I turn the heat on high, it only blows cold air. I replaced the blend door actuator, and the tubes to the heater core are hot all the way to the firewall. the heater control valve bypass seems to be working and the engine is full of...

Hello, I have been having a heater issue and have reviewed most of the threads Ive seen regarding this but still not having any luck so I thought Id post. I have a 2001 2 door sport 4wd that i bought last oct. heater and AC worked when I bought it. During a trip in December I noticed my heater...

Hi everyone, new to this site and hope that I can get some great help from here. As stated, have a '06 Explorer, one day while doing preventative maintenance on my vehicle, I ended up looking behind the glovebox at the blower motor/heater blower assembly and noticed a build up of dust on the...

I have a couple of questions. 1. Which of the two hoses is the heater inlet hose? I am installing a prestone back-flush tee, and it needs to be on the inlet hose. 2. My heater control valve is not where I have seen in before on other similar vehicles (near the firewall). It is down close to...

hello! i have a 2016 xlt. Since new, i get cold air on drivers side floorboard. Been to the shop numerous times for troubleshooting. And they can never ‘reproduce’ the problem. I’m thinking it’s possibly a missing plug somewhere in the firewall. The cold air seems to come from higher in the...

I have a 99 Limited 4.0LSOHC with the EATC system. I discovered today that I have no heat. A/C works great and can switch over to defrost, panel or floor vents with no problem. I am not sure where to start looking for the problem as I have understood the blend door is a problem if you are...

Hello So I recently had my cabin fuse box replaced, which was not the problem it turns out. more on that in another post. After I got my car back the A/C heater defroster wont work in front. the one in the back works. When I turn it on and I am driving against the wind I do get a slight breeze...

Sooo... today my rear window wiper decided to just keep moving regardless of the switch position.. I pulled what was labeled in the owners manual as the fuse to rear wiper/washer fluid and sure enough the wiper did stop.. but now my directionals and heater won't work.... anybody experience...

I know there are several posts about heat issues with the explorers, but I never seem to find a definite answer. I know each issue is different so I have been brainstorming ideas. I have a 2001 Explorer XLT with 127,000 miles and the heat seemed to be working okay when the temp was in the 20's...

The heat in my 2007 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L works great if i keep the heater valve zip tied in open position. I have vaccum tested the control valve and it holds vaccum. Where do i search next? blend door works great selector switch seems to do what i tell it. I believe there is a vaccum issue...

So Igot my self a 2014 Ford explorer limited with few months ago almost brand new 4k miles on it... But there's an issue I have encountered with the ac/heater. So evertime I turn my AC/heater on which ever my Truck would stalled I guess u can say for example it won't have a steady Rpm....it's...

Hey guys I just bought a 1999 eddie that has some issues and I'm looking for some help. My heat keeps going off when i accelerate and comes back on when i stop. There are electrical isssues but those seem like easy fixes. Any help is greatly appreciated... Thanks

Howdy, I have a lot of coolant consumption. I have to fill up my overflow tank every month with fresh 50/50 because it just disappears. Surprisingly enough, I NEVER overheat. I drove 4 hours a couple weeks ago to this restaurant I wanted to take the old lady to and the truck ran great...

So, I have a 1997 AWD Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0 V8 in it. My heat has been acting up lately. When I first start it (when it's completely cold) the air blows and gets up to temperature just fine. But when I stop and turn off the truck and start it back up again (like if I just got gas) the...

This issue started last year, but was less severe. If I start my truck to warm it up and let it sit and get hot the front heater does not produce any heat until I start to drive. The front heater core does not seem to be getting any coolant flow at idle. When I accelerate I can hear the...

Hi, I purchased a 1996 Eddie Bauer (5.0) and the air conditioner isn't cooling and when in "vent" mode it blows warm air. Could these issues be related? Should I start with the thermostat before having the A?C looked at? Thanks in advance for your responses.:us:

I"ve been slowly working on getting my heater and AC working. As part of that, I replaced the AC/Heater control deck in the cab using the instructions I found in the dash removal thread here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=248021&highlight=dash+remove When I went to...

Good afternoon all, I have been watching these forums quite a bit and have a massive collection of useful information that has saved me a ton of time. Now however I have an issue that is not covered (that I can find). I recently replaced my tensioner assembly and my idler pulley to get rid...

So 1992 Explorer XLT, never had an issue until yesterday. I live in saskatchewan so it gets damn cold here and driving down the highway yesterday (about 70mph) and suddenly my heater got very cold and my temp spiked into about the middle of the guage and the rpm went from about 2k to 2500 for...

So its a 98 ford explorer xlt. The heater is constantly on, coming lightly through the floor vents and defroster vents near the windshield. The blower speed knob works to change fan speed, but the knob to change temp does nothing and the directional knob to change vents does nothing. If it is...

Guys I've got two separate issues involving both my driver's side and passenger's side heated seats. 1) My passenger side seat heater has been stuck on for some time now. I know its a bad switch, but I do not know which switch is for the heater. I have one of my seats unbolted and there are...

Hoping to get some help. Just joined and can't figure out my heat situation. My sport trac is 4x4 and I use it that way lol so here's my issue: engine runs normal and I get heat for approximately 10 min. Doesn't need antifreeze, could there be mud clogging something up in the engine...

Can this be done? I see on the back of the ebay controller pic, there's two plugs. Not sure about mine. Would this be a direct swap or would additional harness be required? Will need a new dash as well. TIA :) Ebay...

Does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong? I get A/C only on high... Every other setting I get the heater... Even in the A/C mode? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!

My 2007 Explorer has difficulty switching from the heater to the air conditioner, and vice versa. When going from one temp to the other, I start hearing a "clicking" in the dash. Normally the speed and volume of the clicking (anywhere from a "tap" to a "thump") relate to the level of air I'm...

I have a 1993 ford ranger. It's the 8 valve 4 cylinder motor. Ever since I bought it my heater has not worked. The temperature gauge doesn't rise. I put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator in winter time and the temperature gauge rose. But I got no heat from the vents still. Only cold...

gents: winter storm draco just dropped by and and while the X went into beast-mode getting thru the snow and ice, the heater left much to be desired. it gets warm enough to defrost the windows and make it reasonably comfortable, but never hot enough that you would adjust the temp knob off the...

Hello, so first off i have a 92 explorer xlt, when i bought the car the only thing that would worked was the main vents (for heat). To pass inspection here i need the defroster to work also, of which it wont switch to. Ive checked the vacuum lines that i know about and they all seem fine...

Hello, while I had my heater on, white smoke starting pouring out of the vents. Since I had to get to the engine for something else I removed the heater core and heater/AC box. The Ac didnt work so I took it out. Now im trying to find a box that is just for a heater and not the AC. Anybody know...

SO I get in the car last night for the first time in about a week. Aways down the road, I turn the heater fan on low. I hear a very faint tick tick tick. I speed it up and it sounds like when you were a kid and you put baseball cards in your spokes to make your bike sound like a motorcycle...

Hi everyone, As I am just new to this forum I shall try to be as informative as I can in describing the problem: Me and my buddy (Dutch) have started travelling in Australia (backpacking) and bought ourselves a Ford Explorer 1998 XLT 4.0 SOHC as we wanted to do some off-roading on our...

Blower working, very loud as no air is being pushed. Vacuum resevoir ok, checked lines for leaks found none. Recirc door for a/c opens and closes fine. Door in floor vent by accelerator moves depending which button I push (vent, panel, def, floor, etc). I assume it is not a vacuum prob. I disc...

(98 Merc Mountaineer 5.0 L 302 HO) I seem to have low airflow form my front vents( including the defroster vents) even when the fan is set to high. The fan sounds like it should on all settings and the airflow to the rear seating area seems to be unaffected. The air temps that it is putting out...

I am new to this forum, but have been using it for reference for some time. I have read all of the posts I could find regarding this problem and have wasted alot of time trying to fix this problem with no positive resolution. Ok, the problem started when the temperature here in Wisconsin...
