80 E-250 No heat!
Im new to this board & thanks in advance for any help you can lend.
I have a 80 E-250 Club wagon that has Very weak to no heat coming out of any of the vents. the rear heater was already bypassed when i bought this van & the heat didnt work then either. So I removed the hoses they plugged off & ran the hoses from the engine right to the heater core input & output & both hoses (the in & out) get hot, so i would assume its flowing thru the core just fine or one would be cooler right?
The blower works but it is rigged up with a homemade switch rather then using the one on the dash. The vents do work & will switch from dash to floor,etc.
I have flushed out the system & changed the T-stat & its running at the correct operating temp. The water pump is working.
The air i get is not even luke warm, but its better than outside air.
Any Ideas??
BTW: I tried swapping the input & output hoses around so it would flow reverse. (I heard this trick somewhere) but its the same.
