I think one of them also runs down to the pass. side bulb behind the wheel.
Where do the ported/manifold lines run?
(2) AC not coming on. Had this problem last spring and found that if I turned on the fan first then slid the control down to AC it came on and worked fine (worked all of last year). Now that its warming up outside I've tried this trick but no luck.
Any suggestions much appreciated
Thanks!
I have air conditioning problem on my 2000 Astro AWL van; remote door locks problems since I purchased it; interior lights staying on and draining my battery; gas gauge that has fooled me a couple of times and left me stranded a couple of times; ABS light that will not shut off until I decided to pull the fuse off; rear defogger that does not work; radio lights burnt out; and now, for some reason, when I used my remote to lock the door, my horn comes on which, it never did before when I purchaed the van. Every two of three months, I get a call from my dealership to bring the van in for maintenance and every time it goes into the shop, a few months later, something else crops up. Something is fishy there you all.
We should all get together and do something about this. We are being bled dry from whoever purposely and us, suckers, we're being led to the slaughter house very subtly.
Fed up of giving the dealership my hard-earned money on a piece of crap
feel any air coming out anywhere. Where do I start and what do I do.
any ideas would help thanks.
That's my opinion, if anyone with more mechanic knowledge can correct or add to it, please help this brother out, HE'S FREEZING!!!
after a few yrs of use , I started noticing a gurgling sound coming from the heater-core area but never looked into it since there were no puddles or leaks present, then we experienced the problems with no air/ac coming thru front-vents(but heated air came thru floor-vents at the time) but stayed like this for a coupe of years til` I found this site,
I replaced all of the vacuuum hoses which did get the air/ac vent`s blowing cold air again... but now have no heat(I did feel heat at floor prior to replacing hoses), so I tested/replaced the thermostat w/new hoping this would correct problem(old one was ok) but still have no heat & did notice that temp gauge needle started fluctuating after new thermo(it goes well above the midway point to almost overheating(which it never did before)... then lowers itself...then goes back up again.. but it seems to eventually settle in between 1/4 & half on temp gauge which is somewhat higher than normal),
when I turn the control knob to Mid-High Heat-setting I can hear a kind of clicking sound coming from the heat-core area & what I think is the air-mixture vent-door opening or not opening, the clicking/tapping sound is unfamiliar, I`m no mechanic but am somewhat mechanical, to anyone with similar problems....
would the problem be in the Heater-core/air-mixture door areas somewhere?
is the heater core or valve door easy to replace/get to?
I have yet to check the core hoses for heat but this will be doing this if not today tomorrow, &/or will check for water circulation with radiator cap off to see if core may be plugged. Thank`s for any info or advice!
is there a way of checking this valve?
will running engine like this overheat or damage motor?
any help is greatly appreciated...thank`s!

I changed out the 4-way heater control valve which did get the heater & AC working again but,..now the temp gauge shows the motor to be over-heating, climbing well above 210 & gradually climbing,
I checked the heater core for plugging prior to replacing heat-valve & water seemed to flow freely when added to low or high lines when using garden hose, new thermostat prior to this,
one thing I did notice that the hose from the thermostat-to-radiator does not get as hot as quickly like it did prior to replacing heat-valve, the water pump(if I remember right) was replaced a few years back due to failure but no problems since w/overheating..
could the water pump already be malfunctioning?
I`m running into one problem after another with the cooling system since I started swapping out the vacuum lines to get ac & vents working...
could use some advice or info if anybody has had similar issues.
Thank`s!
Lastly you have to remove the squirrel cage (using an allen wrench) before the motor will come out.
