With the engine hot and running and the heater on high, feel both heater core hoses. They should be hot.

Let me know what you find.

Thanks for the reply. I actually found the problem this weekend. Both hoses were hot so I traced the problem to the blend door actuator. I took apart the actuator and cleaned the electodes. Works now, but I will need a new one soon. The electical tracks are worn out. Do you know if they sell a electrical conducting paint?

If both hoses were hot, that was the next thing I planned to have you check. As far repairing it, I don't know of any such product, but that doesn't mean they don't make it. Maybe a good parts store would know.

Let me know what you find out and thanks for using 2carpros. Com.

Where is the blend door actuator, and is it easy to inspect?

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
