my 2000 ford windstar has stopped blowing hot air in the front of the van. the fuses are all good, the heater core is working fine. i found one vacuum hose disconnected ( that fixed my vent control problem). but i still cant get hot air to the front. what do i check next?

??: Just surfed around and didn't find much on the layout of a dual system Windstar. Can you look and see how the coolant is controlled for front and rear cores? The blend door may not be the issue with this - it might not be getting any heated coolant to the front core.

Try feeling the path of heater hose and any diverter devices and see if the warm/hot coolant just stops on the way to the front core.

Any other ideas guys?

hey tom, your suggestion on the second heater core sent me on a new hunt under my dash where i stumbled across the problem. turns out the motor for the blend door has a stripped gear. i was able to flip it over manualy. tempary fix for now. thanks for your advice and help.
