Have checked flapper door, vacuum hoses, water hoses no leaks, radiator coolant full, water hoses get warm, cannot locate Heater Control Valve it is not readily seen under the hood. Vacuum gage checks OK on lines. On switching from A/C to Heat no sound can be hear. Please tell this OLD WWII China-Burma- sQUADRON commhowander, and BSCE what to do next-How do I DONATE-IF BY CREDDIT CARD WILL SEND NUMBERS OR PAY AN ON LINE BILL FROM BANK ACCOUNT

check fuses in pic and then have a pro scan it to see what is wrong due to it being auto temp control can be anything until scanned.

You are going to need to see about that control valve, if the vacuum line or valve is faulty it will not allow the heater to work. Please check it and get back to us.

The heater control valve is at the inlet and outlet of the hear core, (one of the heater hoses,) some cars don't have this valve, if you don't not find one you will need to retrieve the codes from the climate control, chances are its the heater blend door actuator that was failed which are prone to do so.

Please let us know what you find.
