I'd hate to pull a heater core and then find out that wasn't the problem.


yeah this sounds like the best option so far. try this out..connect the lawn hose to one side and check the heater core for leaks than if you see no leaks/water coming out the other connection by were you hooked up the lawn hose than your heater core is good....try it out n tells us if that helped..

This is a good idea we do it all the time on newer Taurus models with the 3.0. We call it backflushing the heater core.

the core or the lines could be clogged. there is a how to for a b13 on changing the core.

also your lines could of come off the door that directs the air over the core to make the heat...

i dont think the lines are cloged they arnt long lines to begin with and i checked them and squeezed them and i didnt feel anything. I could try the hose trick but thats going to be extra messy but worth a shot i guess.
