the easiest way to by-pass the heater core is to take off both hoses at the fire wall and use a piece of hard tubing to insert in both hoses and use hose clamps it's quick and easy and should get you by. make sure you top off the coolant and do this with engine cold.

SOURCE: heater core

18901fc.gifHere is an exploded view of the heating/air conditioning blower box. This contraption is located on the passengerside under the dash. I've changed heater cores on other cars but never worked on a caravan so not sure how difficult it'll be. You may need to remove a few cover panels to access this and the heater core #22 is located behind the distribution box #6 containing parts 7-18 and hopefully comes off as a unit. I wouldn't want to put it back together just looking at the pic. You may just need to remove the heater tube cover #4 to access the connections and slide out the core.....NAH couldn't be that simple!!! Hope this was of some help. Good luck.

Chrysler has recently extended the warranty for this problem to 7 years/70,000 miles. They will also pay for repairs you have already had on this rear evaporator. Contact your dealer or call 800-992-1997.

Heater Core

possibally would need more info on the exact vehicle your talking about . if your checking for a coolant leak why not pressure test the whole coolant system. that will check all componants for leaks very simple to do if you have the tools, if not go to a radiator shop or local mechanic shop and ask them to peform the very simple , quick test that will let you know if there are any leaks in the complete system . the pressure tester has a gauge on it so even if you cant see the leak immediately, you will know for sure that there is a problem and to continue the process of elimination .another way if you suspect a leak from the heater core bypass it quickly by joining the two hoses together that go to the heater core , re pressure test . hope this helps in some way . merry xmas Al

Under the hood is a drain for the cowling under the wiper arms. There is a plastic tube that gets clogged and water can't drain from that area. It is against the firewall on the passenger side. I found mine full of pine needles

Hi, this is the heater core for your rear heater. If it's leaking from inside the box, it's likely the core is bad. Please let me know if you would like instructions for replacing the rear heater core. A new core is $92 at autozone, but I would shop around. Make sure you specify the rear or auxiliary when ordering a new new core, as the front core is different.

The heater is blowing cold air

heater control valve not allowing radiator water to flow through the heater core where the heater blower motor blows the heat that radiates off the heater core into the vehicle cheap fix or you can bypass yourself by replacing valve with piece of 3/4 copper pipe and 2 hose clamps

My van is over heating there is coolant and water in the radiator it started leaking underneath towards where the front passenger seat

The problem sounds like either the inlet or outlet hose to the heater core is cracked or split. Or the heater core itself is at fault. Need to inspect the hoses from engine to the firewall going to the heater core for damage. If no leak from the outside then problem will be on the inside under the dash. Hope this will help you.

Heater works but defrost fills inside with fog.

your heater core has probably sprung a leak.does the fog smell kinda sweet?....check the floor in the front where the floor mats are for moisture or even puddles of antifreeze.(the replacement of a heater core can be very expensive as the entire dash usually needs to be removed to access the heater core)also look under the engine near the firewall for antifreeze drips.
