Help, please advise how to get into the heater core and blend door on '98.

I've got no temp control (manual) system. Rear works fine. My Chilton manual is very vague on how to get into the area. Anyone have some step by step instructions on how to get into where the blend door is? Also, are the heater core hoses accessable from the engine compartment (for flushing) or does half of the engine need to be dismantled to get to them?

I really need to get this done tomorrow (Saturday), so any help is greatly apprecaited).

Gordon

Go to AutoZone.com | Get In The Zone! and sign up for a free account, enter your vehicle info & look through their repair guides in the repair info section. They have a lot of step by step info.

Thanks for the AutoZone info. I've printed out a few documents and will start it this week (other honeydews got in the way this weekend!).

Thanks again. Gordon

Re: Help, please advise how to get into the heater core and blend door on '98.

No luck folks. The AutoZone info is exactly the same as the Chilton info. The Chilton has about 12 steps for the F250, and 4 for the Expedition. There is no place that tells you how to remove the center console which obviously has to be removed first. So I am stuck (most of the F250 info would apply if I could get the center console out). Is there anyone out there with a 97-99 Eddie Bauer that has had a problem with their blender door? I'd really appreciate some help (I'll make a separate post for the center console in case someone else has taken it out for another reason).

This is covered very very well in this video, I can now do it in 5 hours. The first time took me 7.

A great tool to have is a flexible (hard to find) strong hand driver with a 1/4 inch socket adapter on the end, this saves ALOT of time. Kinda like a long flexble screw driver basicaly but adapts to 1/4 inc
