1994 Ford Explorer Heater Problem
In my 1994 Ford Explorer having a new issue where the heater
intermittently seems to put out little heat. 1. Operating Temperature seems on the low side of Normal - just before the N or between N and O 2. Seems to put out some heat when the temperature is more toward the O or past Any ideas? Thanks |

Thanks PeterD, thats what I was considering at first then got to thinking that since the truck was warming up and the temperature gauge was staying consistent then I might need to look elsewhere. Pulled out the repair manual to have a look at how the heater system is setup and came to the conclusion it might be the heater valve that is attached to the two heater hoses going into the firewall. This was replaced with an aftermarket part several years ago when Firestone broken the OEM one that had become brittle during another maintenance session. Turns out this fixed it ($18.00 later) and now heat is hot as can be. The aftermarket part seems to be made rather cheaply and this one will probably do the same thing in a couple of years. The valve seems to have a tendency to stick where it slides on the outside on the steel pin. |
