Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / October 2004sebring radiator heater?
My sebring convertible takes a very long time to warm up in the morning. I can let it sit for quite a long time and no hot air comes out until I start driving. The radiator is full of fluid so that is not the issue. So, would one of those heaters inserted into a radiator hose fix me up or should I be looking for another solution? Thanks, Dave Check that the heater control valve is opening > My sebring convertible takes a very long time to warm up in the morning. > I can let it sit for quite a long time and no hot air comes out until I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks, > Dave Put the top up. Only kidding. Are you sure the thermostat is working properly? Also, there might be an air bubble in the heater core. I have had that in several previous cars. In the group you might find the air-bleed procedure to make sure the heater core is always filled with hot fluid. Doesn't seem to me you would need an auxiliary heat source.... Good luck.

How long is a very long time? Could be a thermostat... Definatley worth swapping in a new one before you go to far trying to fix the issue. Steve B. Check if lines to heater core are getting hot or maybe a problem a flap in the dash.

Newer vehicles will have a feature in the software to raise the idle while parked to help with this. > My sebring convertible takes a very long time to warm up in the morning. > I can let it sit for quite a long time and no hot air comes out until I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks, > Dave |
