Why does my car heater work sometimes?

Dirty or low engine coolant can make it so your car heater works only periodically. If you're experiencing on-again, off-again performance from your heater, this could be a sign you need to have your engine coolant inspected.

Why is my Ford Expedition heater not working?

The most common reasons a Ford Expedition heater isn't working are a broken heater blower motor, a problem with the thermostat, or a failed heater blower motor resistor.

When you turn the truck on and heater doesn't heat up?

Faulty Thermostat

A faulty or broken thermostat is the most common cause of your car's failing heat. Stuck open or stuck closed, the part can not only cause issues with your heat but also your engine's cooling system. One becomes an issue of comfort, the other becomes an issue of “Oh no, I've borked my engine.”

Why is my heater core not working?

A heater can stop working for a number of reasons, including: A low antifreeze/water level in the radiator due to a leak in the cooling system. A bad thermostat that isn't allowing the engine to properly warm up. A blower fan that isn't working properly.

Why does my heat not work sometimes?

Often, the issue is that the heating system is simply dirty. ... The system's heat exchanger cannot work unless there's sufficient air moving across it to stop it from overheating. In short, a dirty blower can cause the heat exchanger to fail. Dirty air filters could also be the reason your heater stopped working.

Why is the heater in my truck blowing cold air?

This can be due to a choked cabin air filter, a failed thermostat valve, or a faulty heater core. How do I fix a car heater blowing cold air? Start by changing the cabin air filter, and if that doesn't work, replace the thermostat valve. If that doesn't do it, change the heater core.

Can a blown fuse cause heater not to work?

Fuses. A blown fuse is a symptom not a cause. ... Always use a replacement fuse with the same amp rating as the original. If a new fuse blows as soon as the blower is turned on, the heater circuit or motor may have a short that should be investigated.

What does a heater core temperature sensor do?

Designed for durability, electrical performance and provide the proper readings that are used in conjunction with the signals from the ambient air, sun load and cabin temperature sensors to control heater and fan operation.

How do I know if my thermostat or water pump is bad?

Answer: If the temperature gauge indicates the engine is overheating, the water pump bearing may be faulty and not allowing coolant to circulate properly. Another possibility is the thermostat is not functioning right. Depending on your particular model, you can try to listen to the pump with a length of hose.

Can a car thermostat work intermittently?

Though rare, yes a stat can have intermittent issues. The contacts (that connect R circuit to the others) can fail/become weak. All a thermostat does is control where the R (24volt) goes.
