heat problems

Post by samericsson67 »

for the past few months or so, my heater doesn't turn off. seeing as it's hot here in Pennsylvania in the summer it's nice to not have the heat on. I've solved the problem kind of by just taking the fuse out. anybody know what may be causing this?

Look at part #18494 in the upper center of this diagram. Most the time the heater valve has stuck open, (or been removed by a PO) causing the coolant to constantly flow through the heater core:

When the fuse is in does the heater motor continue to run or is heat just coming through the vents?
