Temperature control switch or what?
I have a 2002 Civic and when I turn my heat on it only blows cold air even after warming up the car. Any suggestions?
Thanks Greg, no the needle is steady. The heat only kicks in when the car is moving, it does not work at a stop light or in park. Is there some sort of link between the transmission and the heat control? It doesn't make any sense to me.
no there is not i am guessing that the fan is working ?? if so i would still change the thermostat they are really cheep to so it is worth a try and at the same time you could flush out the heater core
i had this problem too i pulled the hoses too the heater core off the engine and blew the heater core out with an air compressor ran water through the core with a garden hose hooked everything back up and it worked fine after problem was the heater core was plugged up with a bunch of crap
Looks like I'll be doing the heater core flush, I heard you can send some CLR through mixed with water and let it sit for while and then blow it out? Anyway, thanks to everyone for their help!
Could be air in the cooling system caused by burning coolant. Is it a single over cam v-tec engine? They are bad for headgaskets. One way to check is to remove spark plugs and use small camera down spark plug tube and check to see if piston tops have shinny clean spots. The clean spots are caused by the steam cleaning affect of coolant evaporating inside the combustion chamber which breaks up the carbon on top of the pistons. If this is the case then you have a bad headgasket.
dude its your fan not working guarantee check you fuse for it shoud be under your left leg when you are sitting in the drivers seat
The heat works only if I'm driving 45mph or higher. It needs something and I'm thinking it's the heater core.
think of it this way when you drive air flows through the vents when your sitting still it doesn't so you get up to 45mph enough air is flowing through your cabin air intake right below your windshield so your finally getting air flow through it.. or can you tell that your fan is functional. i had an ef and my friend was pulling fuses and he pulled out the wrong one and i stopped getting hot air into the cabin so i suffered for about a week and found the fuse that was missing. it was blowing cold air but nothing warm was coming out.. im just sayin a 25 cent fuse over a heater core seems more appealing to me
