Why does the engine surge when you turn on the heater?

The most likely reason would be because you also have the defroster turned on with your heater. The defroster causes the A/C compressor to kick on which helps remove extra moisture in the air keeping your windows from fogging. The A/C compressor is linked to a "kick up" that brings the RPMs up to keep your engine from stalling due to the extra load possibly causing a surge.


If the AC compressor clutch does not kick in and the relay and fuse are ok what could be the problem?

The clutch receives it's signal to engage from a pressure switch in the system. If there is insufficient refrigerant in the system the pressure switch will not close resulting in no power at the compressor clutch to make it engage.

Why is heater control stuck on blend Wont kick into defrost or heater?

Check behind the heat control panel to be sure that the vacuum hoses are all securely plugged into the control switch. As a safety measure on all cars, if you lose vacuum altogether, the default position for air direction is on defrost, so you can always see out of the windshield. Jake McCahn

Why would your car be dripping water after running the heater?

Most heater settings on a modern car with Air Conditioning will cause the A/C compressor to kick on. This is to remove moisture from the inside air and prevent frosting of the windshield and windows. The air conditioner coils accumulate the moisture which drips down and through a small tube or hose and out the bottom of the car. That's what you are seeing, if it's clear water.On the other hand, if it's coolant (antifreeze) you have a leaking heater core.
