Check the operation of the temperature control door. It is located in the center of the dash behind the radio. Look up between the gas pedal and heater case. It is white in color Move the temp knob while watching the actuator. If it is clicking it is bad. Good luck.

Testimonial: "hey thanks for the help,got the part took a bit to get in there everything kind of tight but we finally have heat...good job and thanks again"

    Mine has the same problem but we've checked the temperature control door and it's working fine. What else could be causing this?

2001 ford winstar top radiator hose stays cold, even close to the thermostat area i can hold on to the housing after the car has ran for 30 minutes, heater blows luke warm to warm at times, but not...

Check the heater hoses for warmth at the heater core. Some designs do not use a waterflow valve, but instead always have heater core flow and use the air flaps to regulate heat.

Now there is a difference in some thermostats and the housings. Barely noticeable are the locking tabs inside the housing and on the thermostat ring. If you have this setup and the thermostat is not locked in place, you could get some bypass around the thermostat.

If you have an electric cooling fan, the Relay may be stuck, keeping the electric cooling fan running when it should not. This would overcool the engine.

Please rate my info.

2003 mountaineer V8 Temp gauge jumps to hot not over heating. Replaced thermostat, no change

The Engine Temp. sensor is bad. it is under the intake manifold. if there is a miss also check under the coils over the spark plugs. If there is Coolant in the spark plug holes .then the intake gasket is leaking. The intake manifold needs to come off to change the coolant sensor. When off look for corrosion on the cylinder head at the coolant port. If there is corrsion then the cylinder head must be replaced.

No defrost and no heat ford winstar 2003 a/c blows in front not real cold in rear blows very cold

Most likely the blend door actuator. Do you hear clicking behind the dash? If so that's the problem. Excellent video on youtube goes throught the whole process, about 30- 40 mins to fix.

I have a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu and for some reason it keeps running hot due to air in the line for the coolant. We can add water or anti-freeze and it will overflow out. We have changed the thermostat, and...

maybe there is a crack in the hose and air is getting in and heats up the water and anti freeze you should buy a new radiator hose that should fix the problem

When my car is cold it sounds like a tractor. I already had the gaskets changed and it over heats and I have to keep adding the 50/50 solution

check your water pump out it might still be working but not hard not enough to circulate and coolant to keep engine cool. Or If you had your engine flushed you might want to change the thermostat. hope this helps you out good luck

My 2003 325i blows cold air, heater never heats up, what's the potential causes/cures?

Potential causes: Low coolant- fix by adding coolant Thermostat stuck closed- would also cause engine to overheat Thermostat stuck open- would eventually blow at least luke warm air Heater core plugged- Get it backflushed or replace it These are the most common causes

Overheating 2003 dodge durango. What could be the problem??

When engine running, ensure no engine combustion gas bubbles in coolant resevoir (if so, the head gasket is blown).

Check cooling fans are operating ok (when required when car warms up), if not check
1) fuse,
2) relay operation,
3) heat sensor switch.

Replace thermostat.
When re-filling cooling system, bleed off any airlock as necessary.

Check for collapsing (soft) coolant hose on suction side of waterpump when engine revs above idle.

OVER HEATING ISSUE!!! 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

Since you added coolant, now it is time to check the fans. If the fans do come on, than your thermostat needs to be replaced, Should be done every 4 years anyways.
