heater problems

Heater core or thermostat.

With engine at temp. put glove on and quickly touch both the heater hoses, if one is hot and one is warm/cool, the heater core is blocked. If both are cool, then thermostat is defective.

[quote:7083012276="valente"]thank you,will do that .i will let you know the results[/quote:7083012276]ok so i went out and did what you suggested and i guess my heater core is bad.one hose is hotter than the other.does that mean that they both have to be at the same temperture when the heater core is good.thanks again for all the help

They should both be the same temp if heater motor is off, the return would be a little cooler if heater is blowing, but still very warm.

Thermostat can also cause this.

As far as the coolant leaking, perform a compression test to rule out headgasket, if OK, then do a pressure test on cooling system.

Coolant loss without a visable leak is not a good sign.

thank you,i im going to take it and have i tested and i hope is nothing bad or i think im going to trade it in.thanks again

Let us know what happens.

well i took it and they did a compression test and a pressure test on cooling system,and they could not find nothing wrong.could it be that the waterpump is leaking or a hose from the radiator.im going to replace the thermostat and i hope that fixes the problem.if not i allready asked about the heatercore and its only 41bucks.so thats not to expensive.i got another little problem that just came up.but thats for another day.thank you and i will let you know how it went

Start with thermostat, if problem persists, you may need a new waterpump.

one more question if i can, my head up display on my prix it stopped working.i cant find my manual so i dont know where the fuse might be.or could it be something else.thank you guys and have a good day

Fuse should be inside car, labeled "HUD".

i looked inside the car,took the fuse cover of,but i dont see one that reads "HUD",I see some that say "RAP,RFA/MOD,DISPLAYS"and alot more,but no "HUD"maybe its under another name.thank you for youre help

Try "displays". You can get inexpensive fuse testers at most autoparts stores for under $15.

I wanted to tell you it was the temperature blend door actuator that was not working once I replaced it the heat came back. Thanks for you help I love this site.
