2020 Explorer not heating as well on passenger side. Had it to Ford dealership for 3 days and they say they don't know!
I have the same issue with my explorer. The mechanic saw both blend doors function properly. Then used a temp reader and had 140°F on driver side and 100°F on passenger side. He’s saying there is a blockage in the heater core.2020 Explorer not heating as well on passenger side. Had it to Ford dealership for 3 days and they say they don't know!
Welcome to the Forum Dave.I have the same issue with my explorer. The mechanic saw both blend doors function properly. Then used a temp reader and had 140°F on driver side and 100°F on passenger side. He’s saying there is a blockage in the heater core.
Let me know what you find...............I have had multiple HVAC issues and now after a new plenum and heater core the passenger side heat is not changing temp or nearly as hot as it should be. I'm no mechanic but the only two things left are the blend door on the passenger side or the actual control unit itself. Car is scheduled to go back for 3rd time next week but I am taking off the glove box myself and replacing the blend door motor. Aside from one bolt it doesn't look that difficult......................2020 Explorer not heating as well on passenger side. Had it to Ford dealership for 3 days and they say they don't know!
Had the actuators reset by local mechanic this week. Still not heating the same on passenger side.Welcome to the Forum.
If one side is not heating/cooling as well as the other side, it's usually because of a blend door/actuator problem.

Thanks for posting this. I will ask them to check the heater core.I have the same issue with my explorer. The mechanic saw both blend doors function properly. Then used a temp reader and had 140°F on driver side and 100°F on passenger side. He’s saying there is a blockage in the heater core.
Welcome to the Forum.I have a 2020 Ford Explorer with dual climate controls that is only putting out heat on the drivers side. Had 34,500 miles on it and under warranty when i took it to a Ford dealer. they replaced the heater box but it did no good. Took it back to the same dealer but warranty ran out at 36,000 miles and still no heat on passenger side and they will not stand behind it. They now say it is the heater core and want $1,000 to repair. In and out line on core both run hot to the touch. Does this sound like a core problem or something else.
It sounds more like a blend door issue. There are several threads on that where heat or cold air is only on one side. In most cases it was the blend door or actuator that was the problem. Did the dealer check for that? I would think if the issue was the heater core you would not have any heat at all. symptoms of a bad heater core - Google SearchI have a 2020 Ford Explorer with dual climate controls that is only putting out heat on the drivers side.
