- 1997 Explorer XLT 5.0L
Hello,
This is my first post on this forum. I have a 97 5.0, 2WD Explorer XLT that I bought a few months ago. It did not have the heater control valve and the hoses were connected together as a bypass. I bought a simple Control valve with one inlet and one outlet and an arrow for the proper flow direction. Looking at the hoses at the back of the engine, One is connected to the cylinder head and the other is connected to a tube that runs under the intake manifold to the water pump. Does anyone know which one connects to the heater core and which would connect to the inlet of the control valve? And, which of the heater core tubes is the inlet?
Thank you
