Heater blows cold air--where is heater control flap or switch?
These cars are notorious for having blocked heater cores, causing the heater to blow cold air. That's because there is a heater core bypass hose near the firewall that allows the coolant to bypass the heater core. Eventually the heater core fills with gunk and no coolant passes through it. You'll need to disconnect the hoses from the heater core at the firewall and flush the core using a garden hose. Flush both ways till water runs clear. If you can't access the heater core fittings at the firewall, then follow the hoses from these fittings back to the engine and disconnect them at that point and flush from there. If you flush from the hoses in this manner, it is important that you clamp off the bypass hose at the firewall with a vice grip pliers.
Otherwise the flushing water will go through the bypass hose and not the heater core.
Where is the door lock relay located?
It will be to the left of our brake pedal. You might have to remove the lower access panels below the steering column.
If you are needing the keyless entry code, it's a 5 digit number under the bar code in small print.
If you need to replace the module, be sure to follow the instructions that will come with the module. Otherwise if you get a used one, make sure that you use the code on the donor module as that will be your new code.
Torque converter went out of it, replaced, still no movement at all.
typically when a torque converter "GO's" it disintegrates and sends little bits all thru your trans and stops up the works , you could clean itna still have to disassemble the entire thing , and ive heard of folks cleaning the solenoids (gear selection) blocks before , but I sure don't recommend it , just replace em

How to fix heater control valve
Hi Calvin, Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.
Calvin, I was reading your about your heating problem and when you said you had heat coming from the vents all summer long, this told me what your problem could be.
Here's what I want you to do! Because this is a common problem with ford. FIRST: Remove the glove box. Behind the glove box you'll see a white actuator with a lever on it. you will also see a metal cover, remove that cover. This actuator is what controls the heat and cool air from the vents. NEXT: Watch the actuator while moving the control on the head from cold to hot and see if it moves both ways or if it doesn't move at all. If it doesn't move replace it. If it does move all the way cold and all the way hot then let me know and will go to the next step to solve your problem. Hope this helps and please visit my auto-repair-website here:

Where is heater control valve?
If equipped, it will be at the back side of the engine close to the fiewall. The heater hoses will connect to it. It is usually made of plastic and will have a small lever on it and a vacuum hose connected to it
