Best Answer

There are really a few options:

1) Bypass the heater and buy jackets, and leave them in the trunk for all the people you may have in your car. I live in Florida, and I also have gloves.

2) Try a radiator stop leak. Might work for awhile.

3) Hire someone to do it, probably around $500

4) To get to the heater core is an all day job. It requires taking out the dash to access the device. The core itself is only $20, the labor is impossible. The core is on the passenger side, behind the glove box, behind a black encasing that holds both the heater core and the AC evaporator.

How do you change the heater core on a 1986 Ford Thunderbird?

My heater core went out in my 95 Thunderbird about 3 months ago. Unless you know a ton about cars, you're gonna have to take it to a mechanic. It will be anywhere from $400-$800 to get it put in. Sucks since it's a 20 dollar part. But you gotta do what you gotta do.


Instructions for heater removal on 1993 Thunderbird?

You will need a Ford Factory repair manual in order to find the instructions. Replacing a heater core is one of the most difficult, frustrating, and labor intensive repairs you can make. You basically have to remove enough of the dash components to gain access to the core. And then remember where and how everything goes back together. Unless you are very patient, flexible, and skilled with your hands, this is a job for someone who has done it before. I have replaced many heater cores and always dread that repair. I no longer will even attempt this repair.
