No heat in a 2000 Ford Taurus. Possibly the control door in the heater/air conditioning box?

My friends have a 2000 Ford Taurus. They have not had heat for a while now. They have changed the thermostat, flushed the heater core and they know that everything is going through the heater core properly. I have the suspicion that the temperature control door inside the heater/air-conditioning box is stuck to the A/C setting. Does anyone know how to manually adjust this to make it be on the heat setting?No heat in a 2000 Ford Taurus. Possibly the control door in the heater/air conditioning box?I'm not sure where it's located on your car but I know you will have to go in and prop it open or closed with something, preferably something like a gum consistency. When you do that though they will only be able to have heat. Then in the summer you can switch it and it will only have air. But will work until you save up for it, its about $700 to fix. Fords, I think, are notorious for this problemNo heat in a 2000 Ford Taurus. Possibly the control door in the heater/air conditioning box?Your thinking is right, they have a tsb out for a blend door sticking and it's an not an easy job, sometimes you can sneak your hand up there and move it by hand, the prob is the door warps and sticks in the passage to hard for the arm to move it. Usually not to hard for a hand though... Good luckNo heat in a 2000 Ford Taurus. Possibly the control door in the heater/air conditioning box?Open the glove box and squeeze the sides inward and remove.then you can get to the blend door.



Check this those blend/diverter doors malfunction a lot.

Heater core on a 1999 durango?

I have a 1999 dodge durango and smell antifreeze when the heater is on, but Im not loosing any antifreeze in the overflow tank or the radiator. And if it is the heater core, how hard is it to change. I know some cars you have to take out the dash. anyone here changed one?Heater core on a 1999 durango?I work for a Chrysler dealer in service. It sounds like a heater core. If you can smell it and don't see any leaks on the ground, it more than likely is the core. If it starts to leak on the pass side floor inside the vehicle or you get a mist out of the vents when the heater is on, then that is the tell tale sign that the heater core is shot. Yes, you do have to pull the dash to change it. It's about a 4-5 hour process for our techs.Heater core on a 1999 durango?Just get obama to get you a new truck on the tax payers.Heater core on a 1999 durango?IT TAKES 5 HOURS TO DO IT WHICH INVOLVE REMOVING THE DASHBOARD. ANY TIME YOU SMELL ANTIFREEZE WHICH IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH, THE HEATER CORE IS LEAKING COOLANT. THE REASON WHY YOU NOT LOOSING COOLANT IS IT IS LEAKING VERY SMALL ENOUGH TO SMELL IT.Heater core on a 1999 durango?If your heater core is leaking, you'll have coolant leaking inside your car and eventually lose coolant. Are you sure it is antifreeze you smell or more like mildew or musky smell which indicates build up in your heater core. I'm not familair with your vehicle but in some, you can get to it from the firewall inside the engine housing.

How much does it cost to replace a heater core?

I have a 1995 Ford Contour GL, 2.0 that I believe needs a heater core. I don't have time right now to replace it, so I am wondering about how much it would cost for parts and labor for the replacement. The dash does not need to be taken out, however the center console and shifter assembly does (without tearing apart wires and effing the overdrive). Other than that it's just a matter of removing some things and changing it out. Thanks in advance for your responses!How much does it cost to replace a heater core?I don't know the specific time for it but if that's all your saying needs to be taken out then maybe 2 or 3 hours labor and then parts cost so possibly $200-400 in that range. How do you know it's leaking? Coolant on the floor? If you don't have the money it can be bypassed since you won't be using it much in the warmer season.

How to Bypass 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Heater Core?

The heater core is leaking on the passenger side of the cabin. How hard is it to do a bypass? How is is it done? Step-by step method. I am a change oil and filter guy and not a mechanic.

The radiator shop wants $500 to replace the heater core. I would like to keep the Jeep for pulling a pop-up camper.How to Bypass 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Heater Core?Well, 500 bucks to change the heater core is not too bad, considering the entire dashboard has to be removed to get to it.

Anyhow, it's real simple to bypass the heater. You can't block the flow - it has to always be circulating. Just cut the 2 hoses entering and exiting the firewall with a utility knife and connect them together with a coupler and clamps.

Before you bypass the heater, check that the problem isn't with one of those connections at the firewall. I had leaking antifreeze coming into the passenger side and the shop told me the core was bad and wanted 700-800 to replace it. I decided to do it myself. Bought a core for 79.00. Then started taking things apart. I noticed that one of the hose clamps was loose and was squirting water into the core when the engine ran. Put a new clamp on it and no more leak!

    How much to fix a heater core?

    I have a Ford Tarus 99 how much would it be to fix a heater core??? Plus if we have changed thermostat, flushed ratiator and heater still don't work it the heater core definatly the problem????How much to fix a heater core?Ok a few questions for you. Does the blower blow air? And did all the air get out of the system? If it didn't it could be causing a air pocket that won't let the fluid flow. but if all of that is good then it really shouldn't cost that much depending on where you liveHow much to fix a heater core?When you had done all of the items. When you where running the car did you turn on the heater? It will take some time for the new fluids to make its way back into the core. Start car and turn on the heater. Open radiator cap first to get a good flow. Warm up car. Check after about 10 min. to see if you have good flow in radiator. When there is a good flow. Then check to see if you have heat. Replace radiator cap. Then recheck heater. If not working still, Then check for a collapsed heater feed line hose.How much to fix a heater core?The labor time needed to make a heater core repair is 5 hours per ALLDATA. The factory heater core is $74.00, so this is not a really quick or cheap repair. I'm guessing from what you have done so far on the vehicle that you are having overheating problems. The only thing that really happens to heater cores is they begin leaking when they get older. If you are having overheating problems....the first thing to check (since you have replaced the thermostat) would be to make sure the electric fan is kicking on like it is supposed to....these are controlled with by a module and I believe they operate at 2 different speeds. I hope this helps.

If not then you have a heater core stopped up or a bad water control valve. If both are hot then there is probably a problem with the vac *** control ed air blend system which controls the amount of cool air mixed with heater warmed air. If your heater core is leaking you will probably have fog on windshield and a smell of glycol.My heater in my truck wont work help.?the heat sensor is bad just go to autozone an replace itMy heater in my truck wont work help.?IF the [small] vacuum hose fell off or was taken off that goes inside the vehicle - U will have that problem. butt the air would

    just come out the floor vents. The small hose usually connects @ the intake manifold. IF when U accelerate the vent air changes from the upper vents 2 the floor - then its just a vacuum hose.My heater in my truck wont work help.?the suggestion about checking the hoses is the first place to look since that is the easiest. Next, is to check the vacuum line going to your control head (the part that you move to go from hot to cold) that line comes in from the engine compartment and usually goes into the fire wall where the evaporator core is on the passenger side under the hood. In your situation your blend doors can be controled either electrically or by vacuum. the door you are looking for is behind the radio and control head in the passenger compartment. good luck.

    Has anyone changed a heater core in a 95 ford ranger p.u.?

    the manual says i have to pull the dash on this model isthis true and if so can anyone give me a clue on how best to go about this. thank youHas anyone changed a heater core in a 95 ford ranger p.u.?yes you need to cut the dash unless your truck is just a beater. In that case you just cut the casing thats behind the heater core replace the core and then two part epoxy the case back together. It turns a all day job into a 2 hour job.

  • Anybody every changed a Heater Core on a 1997 Lexus LX450?

    My neighbor needs a heater core replaced on her 1997 LX450. Anybody ever tackled this? I know on some of the Lexus models, you have to go as far as taking out the motor mounts and propping the motor up to get to the heater core that is buried between the motor, tranny, and firewall. Others, I know you have to take out the dash. How bad is the LX450, and what does it involve? I am very mechanically inclined, and would like to help my neighbor, so she doesn't have to pay $1,500 at Lexus. Thanks!Anybody every changed a Heater Core on a 1997 Lexus LX450?I've had the dash out of maybe 10 LX's. (i work at a body shop). Get ready..... The dash pad comes off. You don't have to remove the inner support bar(side to side). Start with the glove box and lower cover. Step by step is hard to explain. I don't have books or help when I pull a dash. The parts are very costly if you brake something. E-mail me please before you start.

    If its just a Q of not getting heat-- be advised that the car has a water inlet control valve for the heater core that is located on the water hose going INTO the heater core and it just might be the problem.

    A hell of a lot cheaper than replacing a heater core. If the core is not leaking water all over the place that just might be the problem.

First thing you'll need is a haynes or chilton's manual. then remove the bolts securing the dasto the firewall on the passenger side of the car, next drop the duct work in front of the heater core, then drain the radiator fluid from the car. remove the lines from the heater core at the fire wall, remove the core, replace, reconnect the lines, refill the radiator, replace the duct work, and reinstall the dash, make sure you don't break any wires or lines connecting the duct controls. Sounds easy right? Good Luck. A shop will usually charge around $250- $400 It will take you a solid day, you will cuss a lot, and God himself will turn his back on yo for weeks becuse of the things you will say about him. If you or some one you know is hndy you can try this. Go to an auto parts store and buy a tube of radiator stop leak, (wait for the good part) you will also need a drill operated fluid transfer pump, a cheap one is about $20 bucks, some hose that is the same size as the in and out on your core, and some HOT water. Hook the bottom line to your core, and to the pump on the drill, take the HOT water mixed with stop leak and pour it into the hose hooked to the core, put it on the pump. Turn the drill on and circulate it for as long as you care to or until no water leaks from the core (you may burn up the drill) Then flush it with clean water and reconnect the system. I say do this the hard way because I don't advocate putting metal flakes into your cars coolings system, which could potentially foul up something that isn't a problem now, It might cost $75 but could save you $300.

    I'm changing the heater core in a 1994 Ford ranger 4x4. Can someone tell me how to do it & is it hard to do?

    Now its been a while, but I believe you go under the dash on the passenger side. There will be some plastic retainers holding the formed kick guard in place, pull those out. When you get down to the plastic area, there should be 4 screws or bolts holding it on, remove those and pull the plastic piece away. Don't forget to drain the coolant system first.



    Now, under the hood, find the feed and return line from the heater core and remove them from the heater core. The core should now prettry easily pull back and then down out from under the dash. Place new heater core in, re atttach hoses in engine compartment, replace plastic piece under heater core, and put the formed kick guard back on. Now refill the system with coolant and test out your new heater core.I'm changing the heater core in a 1994 Ford ranger 4x4.

    How to change out the heater core on a 1994 Chevy Blazer?

    Changing the core should not be attempted by anyone. You have to remove your dash as well as work under the hood. Most mechanics try everything to keep from replacing the core. Anyways, once you have dash torn apart, (your core will resemble your radiator) drain out as much fluids as possible, disconnect the hoses under the hood and then begin the dismounting unit. Reverse the procedure for replacement.

    How do you change a heater core on a VW Jetta (96).?

    Do i have to rip the whole dash off? is there a website that will show me how? HELP!!!!How do you change a heater core on a VW Jetta (96).?You can go on line and look around. Heater cores can be a pain to near impossible. I can't speak for the VW jetta. You may want to price out an independent car shop. Try car talk dot com and look for recommended mechanics. You put your zip in. Call around and get a price. It may be easier and best to get it a shop to do the repair. At least price it out. The part is not cheap either. It is a super common problem and some shops have the practice and can get it done with out issues, but it will not be cheap. Sorry



    I have a factory shop manual and found several areas in which no guidance was offered or where information was incomplete.



    I wouldn't start this unless you are an above average mechanic and have good tools and better than average patience.



    Some manuals are poor and not very complete. If you don't have some experience and ablities it can be tough. I recall you have to remove the dash and if you have AC it will complicate it more. Good luckHow do you change a heater core on a VW Jetta (96).?Go to your local auto parts store and buy a Haynes Manual for your car and it will give you complete instructions with illustrations.

    Get a Hanes manual for this make and model car. Try your public library.How to change a heater core on a 1995 plymouth voyager?Here's the trick:



    Luckily it ain't a 96...



    Either way, dodge puts all the a/c and heating in a single box that is bolted to the firewall. You have to pull the whole danged box out. If it were a 96, whole danged dash comes out. On yours, only half comes out.



    Disconnect battery so you don't have to worry about shorting something out or blowing out the airbags when you move the wires..





    On yours, you just have to pull the heater controls, radio, and the entire knee bolster (the lower trim panel that faces your knees), including the lower center console (ash tray, misc storage, etc).



    Get all the misc wiring harnesses, vacuum lines, and other BS out of the way and disconnected from the box.



    Drain radiator. Disconnect the heater hoses.



    Disconnect the a/c lines (pull the 13mm that secures the line to a block. Then take the two torx head screws out of the block). Then you have to pull all the nuts that secures the heater box to the firewall.



    Put the box on the ground, and take it apart. About 400 screws hold it together.

    Make sure when you reassemble the box all the doors move...else you get to do it again...



    Reassemble.
