You must remove the dash to replace the temperature control blend door and its actuator, it is combination repair.

SOURCE: 1998 Chevy Tahoe doesn't heat up except when

Iv the engine is not getting up to operating temperature and it is full of coolant (50/50 mix of coolant and water) the thing to check would be the thermostat. Where the hose comes off the top of the radiator and goes into the engine block there will be a round top housing there very close that houses the thermostat. Take off the housing and remove the thermostat. Place the thermostat in a pan of water on the stove and heat the water. Watch the thermostat. If it does not open when the water gets hot it is defective.

SOURCE: 2001 tahoe front heater not working, rear heater blows warm air

I have the same problem with my 2001 Tahoe. The front blower is working, its blowing strong, but its cold air even with the temp setting as high as it can get. The rear blows hot air. The engine temp guage is at about 210ish which is close to being normal (220). I just replaced the thermostate a few months ago, I don't know if its bad again, or it I deluted the antifreeze too much and it frooze the heater core, or if the heater core just went bad. Any one know what the cause could be?

It sounds like your heater core is stopped up. try flushing it out, you can use a water hose. and if you cant get it to clean out then you will need to change the heater core.

How do I get heat in my 2000 oldsmobile bravada

do you have coolant flow through heater core? Does the blower motor work? If that checks out, maybe a temp door under the dash has a problem?

My heat is not working on my 2000 S-10 Blazer

if the heater core is good, the hot -cold switch usually located in one of the heater hoses could need replaced or the cable is bad going to that valve. If it is stuck in closed position, you will get no heat

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus my blower is blowing fine the heat is coming out cold i have recently changed my theromastat and the heat is still blowing cold

The heater core (a mini radiator located under the dash) or its feeder hoses are clogged. They are not allowing water to circulate through the heater core. That is where the heat comes from.

1996 jeep grand cherokee blower works but no heat. I flushed heater core with hot water, replaced thermostat, and water pump is circulating. Vacuum line?

Since your blower is working and it is a heat issue,thats where we'll start,First thing is have you checked the coolant level in the radiator when engine is cold,make sure it is filled to top,next verify you have coolant in reserve ,Start your van and get it up to normal operation temperature,If your heat gauge on the dash works correctly it should be 190 degrees,Now lift the hood and locate the two heater hoses going into the heater assembly at the fire wall,Both hoses should be hot to hold on to,if both are hot and no heat inside your problem will be the blend air door in heater assembly.
if neither hose is that hot you need to replace the thermostat in the engine to get it up to 195 degrees.
if one hose is hot and one is luke warm then the heater core is blocked and to blame. hope this helps you.

2001 tahoe front heater not working, rear heater blows warm air

Notorious for plugged heater cores. Also updated plastic restriction couplers mounted at heater core available from dealer. Try back flushing heater core. Run engine till its at operating temperature then carefully hold the inlet and outlet hose breifly with heater fan on high if hoses are nearly the same temp then flow is good , if not then core is plugged.

No heat

clogged heater core ? low coolant level ? If the heater hoses are hot to the heater core in the engine compartment and your not getting any heat it may be a blend door motor that will not move to the hot position , it could also be the temperature control head in the dash , some earlier chryslers had problems with heater/ac controls
