My heat stopped working and my temperature hand doesn't move
My heat stopped working and my temperature hand doesn't move. What part could that be? I am trying to get it fixed please help. I have a 1997 Honda Accord ex. 4 cylinder. Thanks.
Re: My heat stopped working and my temperature hand doesn't move
The two issues may be separate causes.
1. No heat may be due to heater valve or clogged heater core. When you turn the heater control inside, take a look whether the heater valve in the engine compartment moves (the valve is at the back of the engine compartment).
Also, when the car is warmed up, feel the hoses on both sides of the heater valve. Check after the engine is turned off. Are they hot?
2. The temperature gauge on your dash is controlled by the coolant temperature sending unit under the distributor area. Look to see if that wire is broken.
