No Front Heat

[baconhead]

hi just bought 1998 galaxy glx 

loverly motor but front heaters wont blow warm air

rear heater blows red hot

front fans all blow at all speed

two pipes into matrix are hot

when switch pressed in yellow aircon light comes on (but still doesnt warm up)

any info read some where a fuse could be problem ? everything else is working (winscreen heat/rear window heat /rear aux heater ) etc......

thanks

Theres flaps inside the heater box - good chance these aren't working as expected, possible the matrix is blocked so hot water gets into the hoses but no further, though not likely.

 

If you take the heater controls and radio out you can gain some access to the heater box though the opening, same applies with the upper glovebox out - the glovebox may allow you to access the top of the heater matrix to check its acutally getting hot.

 

Take the controls out first and check that its actually operating the cable for the heat dial (not come away or broken off) if its a manual version. If it has climate control not sure how you'd best proceed as not seen that setup personally.
