Interior Heating System Service with Stanley Ford McGregor

You may not think much about the heating system in your vehicle until it doesn’t work. When the early morning temperatures are chilly, you expect the heater to warm up the cabin. To keep your heating system working the way it should, you can have it serviced with the Stanley Ford McGregor service center.

The heater works to keep the cabin warm by moving air through the system heating it and having it blow out through the vents. As you drive around McGregor, Waco, and Killeen, you’ll appreciate a comfortable cabin.

How Your Vehicle’s Heating System Works

Warm air is brought in through ducts that bypass the heater core, which is a little radiator filled with coolant that has been heated from the engine. The air that flows through cools off the core and heats up as it moves to the cabin. While this is a simple process, regulating temperature can be more complicated. With a temperature regulation system, the cabin temperature would depend on how hot the engine was. Instead, a water valve or air-bending can regulate the temperature. The first is more common on older vehicles while the second is seen most often on newer models.

Reasons Your Heating System May Not Be Working

When the heating vents blow out cold air, it’s a sign that something is wrong with the system.

Low coolant: The most common issue is that your coolant levels are low, which means it can’t get enough coolant into the system to warm up the cabin. All you need to do is add coolant to the reservoir to fix the issue.
Bad blower: If the car gets warm but no hot air is coming out of the vents, it may mean a blower fan motor needs to be replaced. You can check the fuse and wiring before replacing the entire unit.
Thermostat: If the temperature gauge registers at cold even after driving for some time, your thermostat may have failed.
Clogged heater core: If you don’t have your coolant flushed out regularly, it can become contaminated, causing corrosion with the heater core or clogs.
Blend door or actuator is stuck: If the doors or actuators become stuck, they may not allow air to flow through.
