HEATING PROBLEM

[Johnny TBird]

MY LITTLE TBIRD STARTED GETTING HOT COMMING HOME LAST MONDAY NIGHT AND THE COOLING FAN WAS RUNNING AND CONTINUES TO RUN WHEN THE MOROR IS RUNNING.

THERE WERE NO LEAKS BUT IT WAS 1/2 GALLON LOW ON WATER.

I HAD FORD DO THE 60,000 MILE CHECK UP AND ALL THE THINGS THAT
COVERED BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE HEATING PROBLEM.

THE AIR CONDITION AND HEATER WORKS GOOD AND DOES NOT SEEM
TO EFFECT THE HEATING PROBLEM.

IT'S STILL IN THE FORD SHOP...HOPE TO GET IT OUT ON MONDAY.

ANY SUGGESTIONS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE?

HAPPY TRAILS

Unless it's not under warranty, don't worry about it. Might be a thermostat or maybe a water pump. They'll find it. Leroy

Re: HEATING PROBLEM

or the heater control valve. That seems to be the problem much of the time.
are you only getting heat from one side or both sides?

Re: HEATING PROBLEM

I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

THE HEATER WORKS GOOD ON BOTH SIDES.

THE AIR CONDITION WORKS GOOD ON BOTH SIDES.

BUT....THE COOLING FAN RUNS ALL THE TIME AND I KNOW THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

MY ORIGINAL FORD SERVICE MAN FOR YEARS ON MY OLD 1993 TBIRD AND NOW THE 2005 TBIRD HAS DIED. HE TREATED MY TBIRDS LIKE THEY WERE HIS...NOW THE NEW SERVICE MANAGER I HAVE ....I AM NOT SO SURE HE HAS MY BEST INTEREST AT HEART....I WIOL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

HAPPY TRAILS
