Heater core is leaking
mine overheated a lot, turned out to be the heater core.
Sounds like the heater control valve. It could be the blend door actuator motor,which is located on top of the heater housing. this is what controls the fresh air flow through the heater.
Generally automotive blower motors are designed to run on the lowest speed even though the heater is turned off. The purpose is to circulate fresh air into the cab.
Yes.
No.
1)antifreeze level is 2 low 2)heater core is plugged and needs to be cleaned. 3)vent controls are not operating properly. 4)heat is not turned on. 5)fuse is blown for heater control.
u need to replace the heater core in your car
No.
If it's a grinding or howling sound, the heater blower motor bearing has probably dried up and ready to fail.
i just replaced the thermostat in 2004 Chevy truck heater works fine now
I had a W126 Benz (1981 280SE) on which the heater would not turn off on one side of the car (it has separate heaters for each side). The problem turned out to be a broken solenoid valve in the heater water supply. The way the heater works is: With the ignition off the heater valve springs open. When the ignition is turned on the heater valve automatically closes. When you then turn on the heater controls the valve opens again. I think the idea is that the heater valve gets "cycled" every time the car is used so that it doesn't get sticky. The electric solenoid that does the closing is easy to find by following the water pipes and will probably be on the firewall somewhere. They are supposed to be a throwaway part but I got mine open and soldered up the broken wire and all was good.
