Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / November 2005Heat diagnosis.
I have a 95 explorer eb edition. I have been having problems with the heat and have flushed the radiator and heater core. I replaced the coolant and all I get is cold air. Most suggestions say it is probably the blend door. How can I have this checked? Would a dealer or independent garage be able to hook something up that would tell me what the problem is? Thanks in advanced. Bob > I have a 95 explorer eb edition. I have been having problems with the heat > and have flushed the radiator and heater core.

Basically, you remove the glovebox to access that area. -Paul There is also some more blend door info here that google probably can't find: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32 I think it's the second post. > I have a 95 explorer eb edition.

Go to the Ford truck forum http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32 and find the "free blend door fix" postings for "Jfrank" and "talon dad" and you will find detailed instruction for determining if you have that problem. If you do then find their photo gallery postings (you will need to register and spend a bit of time poking around) and you will have detailed instructions with pictures for how to effect a repair. The alternative is to spend 100+ for a new plenum and a weekend tearing your truck apart to replace it; or paying a shop 500+ to do the job. Having had this problem myself, I must say this is one of the biggest fiascos I have encountered in my 40 years of experience owning and maintaining vehicles. It's just plain poor design on the belnd door and absolutely no maintainability engineering done to ensure a reasonable repair process iin the case of failure. |
