Question
my 1989 celebrity just recently started this problem. I'm in the snow belt of West P.A. so I really need my heat to work. If you could tell me what the possible problems could be, that would be a blessing..Thank you in advance..
Sincerely,
Willie

Hi; well it could be a few things.I would check all of the hoses, and the rad. cap. and flush the system if it is dirty. but it could be the heater core, or the heat control valve,if one of the heater hoses gets hot and the other one stays cold, than its the valve if it has one on it or the heater core. and how is the thermastat. ok check all of those things..

| Comment | Thank you Roger..I checked the hoses and found that one of them was leaking somewhat. When I checked the fluid level for my antifreeze, it was very low. I added about 1 1/2 gallons directly to the radiator and the heat came on in a matter of minutes. It was just low on fluids..THANK GOD!!!!..thank you so much for your response. | ||
