heater works "sometimes"

[stumpbuster]

since it started to get cold over here, i noticed when i start my truck in the morning to warm it up, the heater kicks on only about half the time.

when the heat does not turn on, i have to shut the truck off, and fire it back up again for the heat to kick on, sometimes it takes a few tries.

seems wierd to me, but maybe not to you guys hopefully.

any ideas

Sounds like a problem I had a long time ago. Replace the blower switch to your heater. That cured my dilemmma, in fact with the new switch, the low speed blew heat better than the old switch did at high speed!

The cutting in and out I hated, someone told me that the contacts can get corroded too. However, the work involved in removing the switch to check or clean the switch contacts, I would just rather replace the switch.

I purchased my new heater switch at NAPA, and it was around $11 at the time, if I remember.

Good luck. Might be time to flush your cooling system as well, if you have not done this recently.
