Heating AC and Engine Cooling
Heating, air conditioning (AC) and engine cooling require a radiator to transfer heat. Heating a cabin requires heat to be transferred from an engine block. Engine cooling blows the heat out of the engine. AC uses refrigerants to cool air.

This is a fairly common Ford problem. What happens here, is that the blend door actuator moves normally, but the blend door is cracked where the actuator drive fits into it. You're going to need to replace the entire HVAC case. Contact your Ford dealer parts dept. and have your VIN handy. Keep some lube handy before making that phone call.

1996 vw jetta leaking antifreeze through air vents?
You probably have a heater hose that has deteriorated right near the connection onto the heater core, or the heater core itself has sprung a leak. You'll need to look first in the engine compartment to make sure it's not near the firewall, then if not, it has to be under the dash. Your next step is to look in your manual for the location of the heater core. Good luck !

What could cause your AC in your car to not to be cold and just blow air?
When you turn on the AC, check to see if the compressor is running. If the compressor clutch is not engaging, it might be as simple as low refrigerant level. Automobile AC is not like a home AC. Since the compressor cannot be sealed, the seal always leaks a little and you need to occasionally add a little refrigerant.

If the fan blows fine but its not blowing hot air....
Check your coolant!
Nine times out of ten, when someones heat stops blowing hot air, it is because they have neglected their cooling system and there is not enough coolant flowing through the system for it to fill the heater core. Driving the car in this condition can damage the engine. Check your antifreeze and fill it up.
SAFETY TIP: NEVER open a radiator cap when the engine is hot! Wait until the cars cools before you check your coolant level.

Why does heater blows luke warm air even after thermostat change on 2002 Honda odyssey?
May have air in the system. You will have to bleed all the air from the vehicle. Sometimes jacking up and supporting the front end while rev'ing the engine at about 2000 rpm and adding coolant till it's full will work. Be sure to install the rad cap while engine rpm is still high.
Do this with the engine at normal operating temp.
