heater

[ryan the chef]

Hi newbie here ,i have just bought a 1999 1.3 ohv fiesta and i need help please. The heater does not work, heat gets up to three of the pipes but does nor seem to go past the valve do these stick or is there a fuse for it ? Please help as i am freezing my bits off.

My Dad is quite good as a fixer/ repairer just he needs pointing in the right direction ( dad here thanks son i think )

Thanks in advance Ryan

its a very common fault on fiesta's,just simply disconnect the heater valve unit from its power plug,turn power on and reconnect,if the solenoid is working you should hear it clicking open and closed.

if its silent then the solenoid is duff,you can clean them up so someone posted in a previous similar thread or just simply replace the unit.
