SOURCE: Warm air from dash vents but cool air from defrost

The system just needs to get all the air pockets out if you switched everything like you said look around where the radiator hose meets where you put the thermostat in, there should be something on the lines of a little nipple with a 8 mm bolt on it i will have to pull up the exact setup of your Taurus but its the same general concept your car is fine you just have a big air pocket , what else you can do is while its cold right now and the car isnt running is to go take the radiator cap off the radiator and see if the antifreeze is low now that the car has cold down since you last ran it. If so feel it up top it off in the radiator and it might hurp it self and remove the air pocket all on its own... If you need any more help feel free im always on here id be glad to help more in detail once you try that and look under the hood for the bleeder ( the thing with the nipple on it) Also if you could please rate me i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

SOURCE: Luke warm air blows out of vents only when set at

you may need to flush directly through heater core hoses...disconnect hoses and flush through both ways until runs clear...you may have to remove heater core to accomplish this...if clogged bad replacement may be necessary

You need to have a pressure chek done on the engine cooling system. this will tell you if you have any leaks. some that you can't see. this is the main reason for loosing heat constantly.

I changed the thermostat but it still does not heat up what else could be wrong

Heater needs Heater Core, Heater control valve, air diverter inside the car and hot water in the heater core. If you just change the thermostat you must have had a reason. If the car was running hot it could be a radiator clog. If the core is clogged no heat. If the heater core was drained when you changed the Tstat there may be air in it - if so no heat. If the control valve (on the heater hose) does not shift- no heat. If the diverter door in under the dash does not direct the fan air through the heater core- no heat.

How do I fix the heat

You have one of two problems. The heater core is plugged /
restricted or there is an inoperative internal blend door motor problem. Start the vehicle and let it reach operating temperature. Feel the hoses under the hood that go into the heater core. They should be close to the same temperature. If one is hot and the other luke warm/cold.... the heater core is plugged/restricted. If both hoses are near the same temperature, suspect a defective/non operational blend door motor that controls heat/cold/airflow attached to the heater box assembly

1999 Dodge Grand Caravan heat is cold

There are two possibilities, one is the thermostat. Many people remove them which spoils the whole heating / cooling system. Since you changed the thermostat, I would check the heater valve on the heater which allows the hot water to circulate through the heating system.
It may be necessary to remove the heater box and flush the heater core since you talk about a lot of rust, which could have clogged the heater core and / or the pipes leading to the heater.

Mike, I have a Subaru Tribeca B9. THe passenger side blows cold air and drivers is hot.

Chlorine in factory coolant has caused corrosion and damaged the heater core (there was a recall on this WWY-09 which my subaru dealer denied!) flushing wont help. Heater core needs to be replaced.

Heater is only blowing cold air, engine coolant is not all the way full. What do I do?

First, fill the coolant - heat extracted by the coolant from the engine is used to heat your climate-controlled air. If you don't have enough coolant, you won't have the ability to heat your interior. Once you've filled the coolant, burp the system (click my screenname, go to Tips and Tricks, and the procedure is there). That should do it.

If you still don't get heat, disconnect the heater core hoses, put one in a bucket, and use an air compressor to blow into the other one. Then reverse it (swap hoses) - you may have something blocking coolant flow to the heater core, keeping it from generating the heated air in the car. Once that's done, reattach the heater core hoses, top off coolant, and burp the system again.

I already changed the thermostat on my 2002 Jeep Cherokee and the heat actually seemed like it was working but now it is not blowing any heat at all. What could be the problem?

Air in the system or a clogged heater core. If it's air in the system, it needs to be burped. Click on my screenname, go down to Tips and Tricks, and follow the tip there on how to do so.

If the heater core is clogged, you'll need to blow it free. Follow the two heater core hoses from the firewall out to the engine. Disconnect them both, put one in a bucket, and use the blowgun attachment for an air compressor to blow into the other one. Then swap - put the one you blew into, in the bucket, and blow into the one that was in the bucket the first time. Reconnect the heater core hoses, and burp the system (again, follow the Tip instructions for that). Usually that will take care of it.

My 2001 toyota tundra heater wont blow hot air. I checked to see if the heater core is cloged it seems fine the heater control valve is operating properly, and I changed the thermastat. and yet the heater...

If you've changed the coolant recently, it could be air locked in the heater core. To remove park the truck with the front higher than the back and remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and let it run while watching for a big air bubble burp coming out the radiator neck. Top off the coolant and continue.

My heat not workini but blow cold air where is

Has the car been changed coolant since it was bought? If it is time to change, let do a flush through a heater core. There are 2 coolant hoses going thru a fire wall. One for coolant in and one for coolant out. Heater only works if coolant is flowing through the heater core. Therefore, there are one or both following cases contributes to the problem: 1-If the valve control coolant flow gets stuck, then it always closes  so there is no heat. 2-If the valve is working, but the heater core gets clogged up, then there is no heat.

The heat in my 1992 Jeep Wangler is not working.

The only reason it won't blow hot air is because the water is not getting to the heater core. Check to see if you have a heater control valve in one of the two lines to the heater core. If so check to be sure that is is opening and closing. If it won't open then you get no water flow in to the heater core.

Car heat

Park your unit on a slight incline, start cold w/ radiator cap removed and interior heat on full bore. This will burp or release your air from your cooling system. Add 50/50 until radiator is full. When you replace any good amount of coolant in post 90's vehicles it must fill in that position. You also may have pushed some gunk around, flushing, clogging a water jacket or heater core. Hopefully helpful!!!!
