2003 Ford Taurus temperature guage

1st assuming the heat blower is working

try getting a flush n fill on your cooling system
this is sometimes a simple way to open clogged passages in heater core

Just a guess, but I don't think you did this yourself. Take it back to the mechanic and complain.

You didn't say if this was the result of the flush and thermostat change or if you had the problem previously. I tend to think this is a thermostat problem still. It is possible the mechanic simply forgot to install the new thermostat (remote, but possible).

If you have no heat and the temperature guage is pegged cold, the engine is not reaching operating temperature. It is the thermostat's job to regulate this. Does the radiator get warm?

I would take it back to the mechanic if you trust him, or try another if you don't.

More than likely its the sender unit in the tank..Some of the late taurus uses a small module under the center of the dash,,it can also cause this,,Im not sure when they started using it..But the symtoms of the module usually work right sometimes and sometimes it goes all the way to full..If its not doing that then i would suspect the sender

I do not understand why people will continue to operate a vehicle when they know there is an obvious problem. They ignore check engine lights until the engine stops running altogether and then are "surprised" when they get stranded in the middle of the expressway in rush hour traffic. Then they blame it on the car!!!

In your case, you have ignored the warning signs of your blower motor failing ("making noise for a couple months"?) and now you are dumfounded as to why your blower motor now does not work at all.....I don't get it....!???

REPLACE YOUR BLOWER MOTOR!

I'm assuming the heat for the inside of your car. Does it work at all? On any of the speed setting? If it doesn't check fuses, check for power and ground at fan. Or if you can see it just bang on it with your fist sometimes that will get it working temp.

First I recommend checking that your coolant level is good. Please check this cold so you don't risk getting burned. I have seen too many heater complaints where the coolant level was simply too low to fill the heater core. Next, you should check if the heater control valve is operating. I don't have any GM experience, but heater valves are often the cause of intermittent heater operation in many cars. Good luck!

FLUSH RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND ENGINE BLOCK.ADD 50 / 50 ANTIFREEZE AND WATER ALSO REPLACE RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP.IF TEMPERATURE GAUGE STILL STAY HIGH THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR COULD BE FAULTY.

i hate no heat. ford taurus 2001 are a problem sometimes with heat issues.on the firewall there are heater hoses that get clogged,pinched,and sometimes it's just a bad heater core. you said everything you can think of has been done?[replaced heater core? flushed the radiator? are the cooling fans coming on? is radiator full of coolant? have you took the cap off to be sure?like i said,i hate no heat. i'm still thinking.thermostat new?the blower works but only blows cold air?ok if thermostats good,radiator is full,blower works,radiators full,cooling fans coming on, no engine overheating but temperature is fine,let's do this for a short winter time solution only!in the front of your car with the hood up.look at the radiator,ok,in front of the radiator,place a peice of cardboard in front of radiator on the bumper side. think i'm crazy right? try this. cut just a small peice of cardboard about half the size of the radiator and insert it in FRONT BUMPER SIDE of the radiator, this will give you emegency heat,it will have to come out when the temperature outside warms up because it will make your car overheat.for sure.but in cold weather,it's a sure thing to bring the heat up inside the car. you are restricting the air that flows through your radiator while the cars moving down the road,do not let car idle as it will heat up,as long as you're moving you will be safe,keep an eye on your temp. guage as you may have to make an adjustment to the size of the cardboard. yep i was a truck driver for many years and know so well how cold the road is. i kept my cardboard handy in the winter and never got cold. you do have an existing problem with your heat,and unless you deal with it soon,you'll need those cardboard boxes and duct tape for a minute.if you don't beleive me,try it.you'll be toasty in no time,just watch that temp guage and you'll be fine. thank you for choosing fixya.com and by the way,let me know how it works for you,i love to hear that i've assisted someone,somewhere.

took it to the ford garage ...

the blend doors inside the system are what makes the heat ac work there are vacuume motors going to each door if the vacuume lines are cracked or broke the doors wont work and they can sometimes stick
