Does anyone have advice for the following problem.
- Occasionally (10 times per month), there will be NO Heat available inside the car. The blower always works fine, but will the air will be cold. One day things work fine, and the next day no heat.
- The engine temp does not overheat. Therefore, I do not supsect water pump. Also don't suspect thermostat becz even after 30 minutes of driving, there will be no heat at all.
- Recently had a new heater-core installed becz it was leaking.
Can this be a blend-door actuator motor problem? I can hear this motor when cycling through the digital thermostat settings. But I have not had the chance to listen for the motor when there is no heat. I'm guessing this unit is in the dash, center area, near the firewall?
- Also, there is another motor or flap sound that I can hear and see when looking above in the glove box. When I turn the temp system off, this motor of flap engages. Not sure what this is?
I really don't feel like sending this car to Ford and spend $500. Any tips, advice, or self-checks I can perform? Has anyone else had similar problems?
Much thanks.
