Windstar heater screwed !
Hi Im New to american cars as Im an englishman in new york
My fiancee has a 2001 ford windstar (sadly) And we have a heater problem which ill try to explain here as best as i can.
I topped up the Anti freeze earlier thi8s week becasue the heater wasnt working.It was blowing cold air.
Now though after fiddling and making sure the thermostat isn't stuck ( it isnt as the auto choke system is working fine) and we have heat to the rear of the cabin only either side of the blower system situated in the front of the cab are getting warm hot even only the hot air just will not come out of the blower vents . the temp actuators are moving the flaps or appear to be moving the flaps, It has me stumped to say the least And Im hoping it wont mean a huge repair bill.. This re-affirms why I loathe fords so much ! (sorry guys you might like em but i had to many horror stories with them in the uk untill i finally decided never to buy one again as long as I lived
)
Ford tend to build everyrhing with the cheapest possible crappy components imaginable and to hell with quality and reliability ! anyway if you have any ideas on the heater issue id be really appreciative thank you.
