Nothing but hot air coming out from vents all the time.

I put the climate control to cool outside air, I get hot air coming out of the vents. I put the air conditioning on, I get hot air from the vents again. The engine temp is always in normal operating range, the rad fan runs accordingly & the air conditioner rad fan also runs fine??? Thermostat on the rad hose should be OK right? Could it be the heater core that is shot? There is no apparent leaks anywhere either. A few repairs / replacements made last fall, could this have anything to do with it (Harmonic Balancer, Water Pump, Alternator)??

Check the actuator motor on the inside of the car on the heater. It shifts the doors of the unit to let the heat and ac shift.

SOURCE: harmonic balancer

Remove the hood, drain and remove the radiator, remove the belts, loosen the bolt into the balancer, replace part way, hook up a harmonic balance puller, tighten until balancer come free, remove puller, remove HB bolt, remove balancer.
Check seals before replacing, if damaged, replace, check keyway, replace woodruff key if needed.
Install is the reverse.

SOURCE: BAD HARMONIC BALANCER

To remove the harmonic balancer on my 1992 Pathfinder, I needed to loosen the alternator and power steering belts, remove the cooling fan (4 10 mm nuts), remove the radiator (2 10 mm  bolts hold it to the frame, remove top and bottom hose [The drain **** is covered by what appears to be a coolant line], as well as the overflow tube to the reservoir. With a 3/4" impact gun and a 27 mm socket, remove the bolt that retains the alt, ps shieves and the harmonic balancer to the crankshaft. With a large 3 jaw puller, remove the harmonic balancer with the pully sheives as an assembly. I do not recommend attempting the removal without the puller.
To  put it back on, you will need a large torque wrench for the crankbolt and a small torque wrench for with a crowsfoot for the fan nuts.

SOURCE: Remove the harmonic balancer without a puller?

You can try simply wiggling the balancer and see if you get lucky. A few taps with a rubber mallet may convince it to come free. Worst case get the kit. You should not need to remove the radiator. Do make sure that you have the engine blocked so you don't lose your timing mark placement.

1999 ford expedition , runs good doesn't overheat , but puts out no heat ?

First check your coolant level. If the coolant system is full, then it is probably the passage doors inside the heater/AC case not operating properly. A door or its actuator has a malfunction. Most actuators are vacuum controls, although some are electric motor operated. Turn Heater on and set temp. control on high-this should cause the actuators to respond by opening some inner doors. So when you turn the blower on, air is forced across the heater core (the little coolant filled "radiator" in the case), and warm air comes out the vents. Watch or listen for the actuators to respond when you use the heater controls. There may be several actuators on the heater case, situated all around, but they are on the outside of the case, right near the inner door they operate.

Blowing hot air on the driver side other vents cool air

disconnect the battery and try again to re sync the two sides, this is a common problem on all dual climate GM cars, if you can't get them to resync then you will need to replace the climate control head..

Auto. Climate Control

start by inspecting your monovalve(located behind battery in engine compartment. The diaphragm is probably torn- you need to remove the 4 retaining screw off the lid and pull out the solenoid. on is the diaphragm. when it is torn hot water enters your heater core all the time

Max air button does not respond

"MAX" ONLY puts the climate control in the RECIRC mode. Door modes change to " RECIRCULATE" interior cabin air back to be RE-COOLED, instead of using HOT OUTSIDE air to cool. If the problem is in the panel, complete replacement is required. Hope this helps

No dashboard heat output

The climate control was poorly designed on these cars.

There is only heat on the floor and defrost settings, due to the layout of the ductwork.
