Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2008Heater Problem
The heater on my `97 Civic works intermittantly. No other symptoms...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas what might cause this? > The heater on my `97 Civic works intermittantly.

Doesn't work as in temp is cold, temp is inconsistent, fan doesn't blow, makes funny noise, has a bad smell, switch sticks? See whadda mean, Vern? I see what you mean! Doesn't work as in heater is turned on, fan is turned on and is moving air, but the air doesn't get hot. >> The heater on my `97 Civic works intermittantly.

Any ideas what > might cause this? ------------------------ Did you try the most obvious? Fill the coolant reservoir to the =MAX= mark, then fill the rad to the top. Repeat the reservoir part for three days and see if it appears to be 'sipping' coolant overnight. If it was, you had AIR in the system. 'Curly' Thanks all for the advice.
