I recently serviced it doing an oil change, oil filter, air filter, coolant flush and refill.Only mods are a 10 psi stage 1 custom tune, I always run the 8 psi stage 2 though.After the service, the heater stopped working!! The fan works fine, A/C is fine everything really is perfect accept it will not blow warm air.It was suggested that I 'burp' the system. Meaning I drain the system again and refill with the motor on and the heater and fan on full, in order to open the heater hoses etc...Have just tried it this afternoon, no success.Guys I could really use your expertise and advice on this one.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When u swap btwn hot and cold, do u hear the motor whining? If so most likely air mixer shaft broken, dash out job to replace it. If u dont hear any motor whining noises most likely the unit called a HIM. This is expensive and connects to the air mixer shaft. Once again dash out job. Sorry to say. Just about all the cases, it is one of the parts. Dont be suprised if it starts working again..... if it does looks like faulty HIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 25 Member For: 16y 6m 9d Posted 07/06/08 12:57 PM Share Posted 07/06/08 12:57 PM Start working - the heat may start working again, it didnt 4 me, others it has.How much - if u take it to Ford, shaft around $50 4 part, HIM around $500, labour grrrrrrrrr. U would get quoted over $1000 if it is the HIM.If u do get it done and it is the HIM, suggest while at it to replace the shaft.Others have done it themselves by pulling the dash out, depends on how handy u r.

Single all cool I think, dual has to go to ford to "setup" I think, others with more experience can confirm wether this is true though.I'm after a repair manual also......

No doubt there would be some boundless expertise amongst some of us...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
