- 2002 Explorer Sport 4x4
I drive a 2002 Explorer Sport and unfortunately the heat stopped pumping out at the end of last winter. The blower would shut off and turn back on whenever it pleased, completely at random.
Summertime came around and after a charge the a/c was rockin'. No issues.
Fast-forward to now. The blower doesn't seem to shut itself off anymore, but I still have no heat. I've replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system. I also disconnected the hoses from the heater core and shot some water through, which seemed to flow just fine.
The hose going in to the heater core gets very hot, but the one coming out seems to only get a little warm. Is this normal?
Also, not sure if this is normal, but even with the heat control knob turned to high my a/c clutch engages every 10-20 seconds.
Any suggestions? My soon-to-be frozen fingers and toes really appreciate it!
Edit: I should also note that I am not hearing any noise from the dash that would indicate a problem with the actuator. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
