2006 ford Taurus no heat. Not overheating, new thermostat and healing core?
If the car isn't overheating and shows a "normal" temperature (assuming you have a gauge) then it's unlikely the thermostat needs to be replaced.
The most common "no heat" culprit is low coolant. Even though it's low enough to leave the heater core empty, it may have enough in the block & radiator to keep the engine happy. Check the coolant first. Do it with the engine cold. Check the reservoir AND take off the radiator cap.
Some of those Fords have cooling systems that are prone to having air trapped in them. Look to see if there's a vent near the top/front of the engine. You may need to loosen/remove a vent bolt while filling the coolant.
If that's not the problem, I'd suspect a temperature control that works a valve allowing coolant into the heater core and/or controls a door that directs air through the heater core. If the temperature control lever/knob moves with no resistance at all, this would be a likely cause.
There's likely nothing wrong with your heater core (YEAH! These can be a bear! LOTS of work) and they would be unlikely to clog up (unless somebody used "Bars Leaks") so looking into the above *should* solve your problem.
Flush it out ad new fluids if still no heat try checking your control knobs. I tried all of the above on one of my cars to find out it was in the controls. Went to wreckers bought a used set and had great heat.
Air lock or other blockage in the heater pipes.
If you have an automatic climate control system i would suspect an issue with the control head, also check if you have a heater control valve that may be stuck shut
- My son has a 2000 Ford Taurus, there's not heat in his car? The car is equipped with a Auto Climate Control Unit. When the heat is turned on the blower motor does turn on as if there's no power to the blower. We have replaced the blower motor and checked all the fuses and relays. Could this be the Climate Control Resistor or the all in one controls on the dashboard? Or did we overlook something else?
- 2003 Ford Taurus SES heat not working correctly? The thermostat will be up to temp where it should be reading on my dash, I also have plenty of antifreeze in and I'm almost positive that wouldn't be my problem… When I turn the the heat on I will get decently hot air blow out for a few seconds and then it'll immediately turn to cold air… What do you guys think? Hopefully it's a fuse I'm thinking
- Just had new heads and gaskets installed on Ford Ranger 4.0, along with thermostat and radiator cap. After reaching operating temp, upper? Radiator hose swells to full capacity as if it can't handle more pressure. After engine cools off, hose returns to normal size. Should this be happening?
- My car is overheating not leaking and swicthing on and off again and again? Today my ford mondeo overheated and when i put water in the radiator the temprature became fine and then later on it just kept turning off and on it kept overheating. There was no leakage of oil or water no leakage at all what is the problem with it it keep overheating and turning off
