NO HEAT! What gives? Todauy we'ree looking at the Heater Control Unit (HCU) - the commander that tells the heating system what you want it to do. And sometimes, that command has to travel to a component you may know as the hot water valve, but the manufacturer may call something completely different. Case in point: a Crown Victoria that had visited multiple shops on the Hamilton Mountain without anyone finding the reason it wouldn't make heat. The wiring diagram finally revealed the culprit hiding behind a very fancy name: thermal blower lockout. Yep. That was the hot water valve. Before winter catches you off guard, you want to know that the HCU can actually command that valve to open-and that the valve responds. Modern heating and A/C systems are increasingly computerized, which means the problem may not be where you thoink it is. Sometimes you have to stop guessing, grab the wiring diagram, and follow the command. #AutomotiveRepair #CarMaintenance #Heating System More Episodes and.....project Details & Links are available at Car Connection Business Network .com ( ccbusnet.com ) you'll find everything on our home page if you'd like to follow the build & Repair work we do & connect with our program partners, click their logo to meet them & Thank YOU!
