Hi again

I'm now having problems with my heater. A few weeks ago I noticed its taking longer than expected for my truck to heat up inside. I assumed it was okay because the temperature had dropped significantly these past few weeks. Yesterday was when I first noticed a feint clicking sound behind the glove box, near where the blower motor resistor is at. When I removed the glove box to look for the source of the sound, I couldn't find anything and it sounded like it was coming from inside the engine bay. I checked and could not find the source.

Today came and when I turned on my heater no air comes out. Every time I turn the heater on I can hear liquids moving around from behind the center console as well as something trying to turn on but no luck in having any air being blown into the truck.

I purchased this truck back in May with an existing issue when I would switch the temperature from cold to hot something would start clicking very loudly. I forget what it's called but I know something is not clipping on to what is supposed to and therefore it creates the clicking noise. I'm not sure if this is what could have caused my current issue of my heater no longer working but it's worth mentioning.

I appreciate any replies to this post as I am in much need of the heater to work lol

Thanks
 






I think what your mentioning is the blend door actuator. If it sounds like liquid sloshing then you may have air in the cooling system causing your no heat problem. When you turn on the heat is the blower motor working or air comming out the vents? From what you wrote my understanding is no air is comming out the vents. If thats the case then you may have a bad blower motor, resistor, or fuse
