Replaced rad, now no heat through vents (2.0L)
Just replaced the rad, hoses and t-stat in my 2002 2.0L Escape. Everything seems fine, once it's up to temp the needle stays rock-steady in the middle of the gauge, but now I've got no heat through the vents.
Do these things have a heater valve in them, or does the heater core get 100% coolant flow at all times with a blend door providing the hot air regulation?
I measured the temp of the heater core hoses at the firewall with my IR gun and I was only seeing 80F on one and 70-something on the other. This was when the top rad hose was reading 170F.
