Angry Heater Core Fun

My air ducts only shoot hot (the hottest) air, even when the AC is on Max, and all defrost/ heating/ venting modes. Since it's January in Minnesota, this is not too much of a problem, but spring will be here in about another 8 months....

I have replaced the temp control ****/potentiometer-- no go.

I suspect the heater core's blend door is stuck or broken.

Do I have to replace the whole heater core? (I'm prepared to find a used one)

--a beer to any one who might help!

I like BEER ! The blend door may be broken, but more than likely there is a pen, pencil or some other unwanted object blocking its movements. Check it out and my beer is always a BIG one. Good luck.

Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!

Assuming you have a Ranger or Explorer, then this might be an alternative:
