Why is my Ford Escape not blowing heat?

Why Your Ford Escape is Not Blowing Heat
If your Ford Escape is not blowing heat, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some common causes and potential solutions:
1. Heater Blower Motor: If the heater is not coming on at all, it’s usually either the blower motor or some other wiring issue.
2. Heater Core: The heater works by passing hot coolant from the engine into a tiny radiator called the heater core. If this process fails, the heater will not work properly.
3. Thermostat: Even after replacing the thermostat, the problem may persist. The thermostat is responsible for regulating the flow of coolant through the engine. If it’s faulty, it can affect the heating system.
4. Blower Motor Resistor: The blower motor resistor can cause issues with the blower motor only working on certain settings. If this is the case, replacing the resistor may solve the problem.
5. Coolant Level: Loss of heater output described as heat rather than airflow indicates low coolant level. Inoperative temp/blend door can also affect the heating system.
6. Duct Blockage: If you aren’t getting much air blowing out of certain vents, there may be a vent door/duct issue.
It’s important to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the specific issue with your Ford Escape’s heating system to determine the exact cause and the appropriate solution.
