F-150 No heat question

[Silver LX]

Hey guys, not a mustang- but a proud owner non the less.

My 2010 f-150 Lariat seems to have no heat all of a sudden. I topped up the antifreeze today and motor runs at normal temp so i know thermostat is good. switches between windshield, floor and vents fine.

if i switch from cold to hot on knob feel no difference. slightly hot but nothing hot by any means. touched both hoses at firewall going into heater core and both are dead cold. truck has 120k on it.

what could be the issue?

If the hoses at the core are cold then you either have a blockage or air in the system. What I would do to start is take off one of the heater core hoses and see if there's coolant in it, if not, grab a long funnel and stick it in the hose, hold it above the engine and fill it with coolant until it comes out the heater core where you took the hose off. Recheck.

My money is on a blend door motor not working

blend door is what I am afraid of to be honest

I'd be tempted to say pull both hoses off the core and flush in each direction with a garden hose, refill and recheck. Can you see if Ford has an inline restrictor in one of the hoses?

[ZR]

Most times the restrictor will look like a hump in the hose like this with a clamp or similar to keep in place. Other times, it will look like a plastic inline joiner.

EATC or manual air conditioning?

They are definitely known for the Temperature blend door actuators going out. There is 2 if it's the lower one it is easy to get to, if it's the upper one...... Have fun........

Blower motor works ok?

[Silver LX]

blower motor works great. just no heat. will go out and check above suggestions now.

Heat? You're getting soft Mike. :D

I'd normally have started off with blend door as well but he's reporting hoses are cold.

lol- need to be able to keep windsheild defrosted...lol :)

If it was a blend door I would think he would still be feeling some sort of heat, no? I am leaning towards an airlock in the coolant system.

X2 Chevy Uplanders are famous for this....cause the heater hoses are at the highest point in the cooling system

truck's been in the shop since Friday. It turned out to be both actuators failed. Major job. Should be done tomorrow. Entire dash came out. Not looking forward to the bill. They first thought it was the controller as it gave them some numerous codes- but didn't work.

[ZR]

What was keeping both hoses cold though?

[Silver LX]

Not sure buddy. I seen the dash out yesterday as I went to pick up something from my glove box that was torn out.
