The heater core is located in the center console usually under the radio and environmental controls. You'll need to get access to the area back there.

How do change a heater core in a 1995 chevy lumina? and is it very hard to do?
Almost ALL heater cores are difficult to replace.Not sure about yours,but it's probablybehind the radio or glove compartment.You'll have to remove hoses first,and the newer clamps are attatched with a compression fitting.You have to push on hose while holding pipes from heater core.You'll get a pretty big puddle of coolant on your garage floor....Then comes the HARD part,you may have to remove glove box ,or radio,or at least some of the dash or trim.In short,it's a real pain.A shop will probably do the work for around 150 bucks including rebuilt core.Good luck.How do change a heater core in a 1995 chevy lumina? and is it very hard to do?it is very hard to do because it is under the dash and it takes a long time.

How long does it takes to change a heater core on a s10 chevy blazer?
The shop guides say that it should take 12 to 14 hours to do the job. I have done it in as little as 4 hours though. If you unbolt the steering column and let it drop to the seat and then remove the screws that run it at the defrosters right beside the windshield and then remove the 2 bolts in the dash right beside the kick panels the entire dash will slide back about 6 inches which is just barely enough room to get the cover off the heater box you should be able to do it in a lot less time than they call for. It is a back killing job though with tons of twisting and bending to get at it this way but it saves a lot of time. The wires and everything that are behind the dash can stay connected and will give you just enough room to get in there so leave them connected. Hope I have been helpful.How long does it takes to change a heater core on a s10 chevy blazer?Not bad!

I need a diagram on how to change a heater core in a 1994 cadilliac deville sedan?
the only place I know to get any type of diagram for the 94 Cadillac is from the original shop manual (not a Chilton's) that's usually given to shop mechanics at the dealership. However, you can buy one online or over the phone, but it may be a little pricey (between $70-$100 depending on condition). Check out Faxon Auto Literature (website below) and you might be able to get what you need. If they don't have it, they might be able to point you in the right direction to get one.
1984 Ford F150 Heater core change?
How long would it take to change this? My dad told me to figure it out.. and im a little clueless. Any help is welcome. THANK YOU!1984 Ford F150 Heater core change?About 1 and a half hour.Book time 20 minutes different between with or without AC.1984 Ford F150 Heater core change?For a seasoned mechanic with all the needed tools... 1-2 hours would be a fair estimation. For the novice... it might take 3-5 simply due to an overall lack of experience. It won't be too tough however, even if you've never done it before. What helps is that there's a lot of room to work under the hood of the truck (assuming that the truck doesn't have air conditioning) and in the cab as well.
Most of the work will be done inside the cab but don't forget that you need to drain coolant from the radiator to the point where it won't flow out of the hoses that carry the coolant from the block to the heater and back. The hoses will be clamped to the heater core itself... the coolant flows through the core and the heater motor blows air through the core, thus providing hot air for the cab. Essentially, the heater core is an exchanger... and it works well for that purpose.
Anyway, what you have to do is expose the heater core and remove it for the new one. There will be a housing that contains the core and the blower... and there will be some ducting and the hoses going to/from %26amp; in/out of it. The housing itself will either have screws or clips holding it together, just take your time when dis-assembling it and don't lose any parts. It will be very simple as I said though... you don't really need a shop manual for this job.
What to make sure of? That you don't damage the new core, the hose clamps are tight (no leaks!), that you don't mix up any air hoses going to or from the housing (they need to be right or you could end up with hot air when the controls are set to cold and vice versa) and that you hook any control cable back up correctly so you can turn on and off the blower motor and adjust where the air goes through the vents. Other than that? Not much to say... but if your dad has plenty of tools, you should be able to pull this off without him. In a few hours. Best wishes!
PS What's a good way to keep track of what goes where? Use a Sharpie ink pen... and mark things before you remove them. I usually use letters like A, B, C. Just mark each two parts that go together with a different letter and you'll be good to go when putting them back together. Woot!

Second, sadly the answer is no on most newer cars and trucks the heater core is located inside a unit inside the dash area that controls the air flow inside the vehicle, its not impossible to do this job but its often easier and quicker to have a professional mechanic do it as there will be less chance of damage to other components.Is there an easier way to change the heater core than pulling the dash off?Since this is in the Dodge section assume you are talking about a Dodge. You didn't say what kind, but doesn't matter, I have said for years %26quot;half%26quot; jokingly that the first thing down the assembly line is the heater core and the rest of the car is built around it. Of course that is not %26quot;totally true%26quot; but on some cars you would sure think so. This depends solely on how old of a Dodge you have. The newer the worse off you are. Some of the real old ones like Dodge Charger in the 60's and early 70's had the entire under dash unit with heater and ac condenser that would come out with just a few bolts from under the hood. Other than that most any modern one is a real bear. These so-called engineers have to know that this stands a good change of having to be done at one point or other. Change one in a Dodge pickup or certain years and once the Dashboard is out in the yard and everything underneath it you will %26quot;swear%26quot; that the truck was built around that part first. :-) Good news though is that you can do this yourself if you simply set aside a day to do it without interruptions. One of them took us 9 hours of solid work but most can be done in much less time on most vehicles. Good Luck!

How difficult is it to change the heater core on a 98 Dodge Dakota?Get yourself a chilton or Haynes manual,that will give you the best info on the difficulty of changing the heater core,their are too many steps to tell you on here.Good luck to you.How difficult is it to change the heater core on a 98 Dodge Dakota?The entire dash will need to be removed inorder to get access to the heater core housing. Labor hours show about 5hr job.How difficult is it to change the heater core on a 1999 Jetta?
Firstly, I assume that you're talking about a MK 4 series vehicle; if it is then you should figure at least 5 hours to 8 hours of labour at the posted hourly rate depending upon the skill of the person doing the job.(plus parts and tax)
On a 99.5 Jetta (MK4), you need to pull the dash and disconnect the a/c lines to the heater/ac climate control box. Some people are able to remove the heater core without having to completely remove the box loose from the vehicle, thus saving time. It is not a job for the faint of heart, nor is it a job for the average do it your selfer--- The original Soficia? heater cores weren't great and the Valeo cores are better. I have been told that at least one company makes a heater core out of copper instead of the alloy and plastic OEM core that was installed at the factory, but I've never seen one of these copper heater cores. ( I have seen a copper radiator replacement for the alloy radiators, so I have reason to believe that a copper heater core does exist).
Your least expensive choice would be either a VW specialist or an a/c specialist to replace the heater core. My suggestion is either a dealership or the independent VW specialist replace the heater core because I've seen too many jobs that have been done poorly and have either damaged the climate control box or failed to install the box assembly correctly (they can rattle badly if not secured properly and its a pain to fix) or failed to adjust or connect something.
I hope this helps, a car nut.How difficult is it to change the heater core on a 1999 Jetta?This takes a long long time and is no piece of cake. Give yourself 10 hours to do this to unfasten and refasten every nut, bolt, and screw on there. The late model Jettas are not known to have good heater cores and they are infamous for this problem.

How do you change the heater core in a 1996 pontiac sunfire?
My heat guage goes over the redline, but if I turn the temp down to cold it will return to a more normal temp after a few minutes. It doesn't go way down, just enough that it is not redlining.
I checked my thermostat and did a systems flush, so this is my next guess, just haven't changed one before.How do you change the heater core in a 1996 pontiac sunfire?Heater cores are difficult to change. It usually requires removing most of the dash to replace. I don't think that is your problem, though. I think that your radiator is plugged, that is the air can't flow through it. Possibly your electric cooling fan isn't working properly.shampoo on a plane stay in abusive relationships

How long should it take to change a heater core on a 2001 Taurus ?
And do you have to recover the refrigerant, If so why ?How long should it take to change a heater core on a 2001 Taurus ?I don't believe you have to worry about the A/C IMO. The heater core will have two hoses that might have to be disconnected. And it's located in the engine compartment in the back on the firewall. You'll see two 5/8%26quot; sized hoses, one is the inlet, and the other an outlet for the antifreeze/coolant to circulate through the heater core. If you could, you should buy a service manual for the vehicle at you local auto parts store. The brand is either Chilton, or Haynes and they go for about $20-$25. Plus it's an investment, and it's better to read up on it to avoid getting into problems that may cost you time. Below is a link of the repair manual i'm talking about. Hope you ix it.How long should it take to change a heater core on a 2001 Taurus ?The billable hours is 5.5 remove and replace
yes they have to recover the refrigerant (r-134a) because the EPA wont let them release it in to the atmosphere and they can just put back the same amount you had before and shouldn't charge you long as you had enough for your system to run

How do you know it's bad? If it isn't leaking, then it is fine, and your heat/cool blend door is the problem. If it isn't leaking and the hoses that go to the firewall are both hot when you car is warmed up, it's definitely the blend door.
The blend door is operated by either a cable, which is usually the case if the temp is controlled by sliding the knob across the control panel.
It could also be vacuum operated, using a small diaphragm to operate the blend door.blond hair dvd burner speed

How do you know it's bad? If it isn't leaking, then it is fine, and your heat/cool blend door is the problem. If it isn't leaking and the hoses that go to the firewall are both hot when you car is warmed up, it's definitely the blend door.
The blend door is operated by either a cable, which is usually the case if the temp is controlled by sliding the knob across the control panel.
It could also be vacuum operated, using a small diaphragm to operate the blend door.

How difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?
I have a 1999 blazer and it is not heating properly. Today i went out driving and came back home and the hoses going to the heater were not even hot. So i assume the heater core is plugged up or not working. Is there any way to unplug it without taking it out? And also how hard will it be to take out and replace if i have to? I am assuming it is behind the dash because the hoses go through the firewall.How difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?first of all it could be be many things ,thermostat thats usually the cause so start there sometimes it will stick open , or it could be low on water yes i know sounds stupid but 6 out of 10 times someone brings there car in thats what it is or the radiator is plugged that's easy to see just take the bottom hose loose if water comes out steady it is not plugged iv never seen heater core plug in 15 years it will bust or go out then it will put antifreeze on your windshield when you turn on the defrost. the heater core does not heat the water it just sits in front of the fan with the hot water the moter heats the water when the thermostat closed water gets hot it opens the water is moving so it stays cool plus if its pluged it will get real hot like a plugged thermostat the core is not pluggedHow difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?If you live in a state like me and never use heat, you can take the two hoses off where they go through the firewall and go to autozone and get an adapter to hook them together. As far as changing out the heater core, half the dash has to come out and if you never have done this, I would pay a shop to do.How difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?take off coolant hoses in engine compartment and put a water hose to it..or ....remove dash.. be sure what problem is...is hot water going into core????... i had same symtoms and it was little door that moves heat around....25 dollarsHow difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?you should try taking the line off, and flushing the pipes of the heater core out first. probably just clogged with debris. then reconnect the hoses and try the heat, that should do the trick. on those you gotta remove the whole dash carrier and evaporater box to gain acces to the core. try flushing first. pretty much if its not leaking into the car or anywhere else, its just clogged.How difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?It is behind the dash and its more time consuming than difficult. What I would recommend first is disconnecting the hoses from the engine and try blowing through them or running a garden hose through them to see for sure if that's the problem. It won't take very long and will definitely prove if the problem is in the core or elsewhere.How difficult is it to change heater cores in my blazer?If neither hose is hot, look at the thermostat as being the problem. Usually one hose will be hot and the other will be cool or just warm if the core is plugged. Pay for a proper diagnosis before you start buying parts.

How do I change the heater core on a '95 chevy caprice?
I have no heat in the car. I changed the thermostat then flushed the heater core then flushed radiator. I put cardboard in front of radiator. Still no heat! Cold in michigan!
Do I need to change the core or is there something I'm missing?How do I change the heater core on a '95 chevy caprice?The only time you should have to change the heater core is when it's leaking. I would have to look at it to exactly know, but you should check the following:
Does your heater motor work?
Is your coolant level up?
Is there an air lock? do you need to bleed the system?
Does the engine run hot? ( you might have a bad water pump)
What is the heat range on your new thermostat?
Lastly, if anybody was fooling around under the dash they may have un plugged one of the vacuum lines that go to your heat selection switch. Try to get under there or remove the board that the switch is on and carefully inspect the back of the switch. You want to make sure that all the vacuum lines are plugged in without un plugging anything.
Good luckHow do I change the heater core on a '95 chevy caprice?NATHANIEL G has some good points and covers good areas however, I have seen heater cores in need of replacement due to plug up. In most cases it has been on GM vehicles because of the lack of performing coolant flushes. GM claims one can go 5 years or 100K miles before flushing the system out because dex-cool is supposed have longer life. Anyone thats been in the business long enough knows otherwise and thats why we recommend to our customers that the coolant be power flushed as soon as their GM warranty expires. That stuff turns to gel and causes all sorts of problems.
On a final note, NATHANIEL G suggested you check the heater control valve. Thats actually the first thing I would have checked, I'll walk you through it. Now I'm going assume that this is your only problem since you were not too specific in regards to weather or not the car is actually reaching operating temperature. Once your car is fully warmed, locate your heater control valve which should be toward the firewall on your right side in the engine compartment. Now physically turn that valve to the opposite direction and hold it there while someone sits in the car with the heater on. Did warm air come out? If yes, then now you have to find out why; Is there a vacuum hose broken? etc. If not, thats the best I can do without you giving us further information and even then it's hard to diagnose things without physically being there. Good luck!How do I change the heater core on a '95 chevy caprice?should be passenger side up under the dash,

How to change heater core in a 1991 S10?
There is so much water on the passengers side floor that it looks like I left the window down during a rain storm. How involved is this to change out. I just bought the core for $40 at Napa and don't have enough money for a mechanic to put it in. Will I have to excavate the A/C or anything? I know to get the dash out I got to remove the steering column, gauge cluster, radio and glove box to get to the dash bolts. At least thats what the Napa guy said.How to change heater core in a 1991 S10?that cost a lotHow to change heater core in a 1991 S10?This is easy. First, open the glove box and remove the access panel in the back, this will allow you to access some of the 9/32 screws. Then remove the screws holding the panels under the dash, and you'll see the cover bolted on with about 10 of these 9/32 screws.... Remove all these, then wiggle the panel out, its tight but it fits. Now remove the 1/4 screws on the core straps. Go under the hood now, unhook the core hoses (clamp them off if possible, though you won't lose a ton of coolant from these ... And make sure the engine is cold)
Now the core should come right out, reverse procedure to finish.
You do not need to remove the dash. You do not have to evac the freon. You may opt to remove the right dash bolt to allow you to pull out on the dash a bit, if you want an extra inch or so.
I can do one of these in 1 hour.How to change heater core in a 1991 S10?you dont have to mess with A/C components, and on the first gens you can access the heater core without removing the dash, just move the under-dash light out of the way, remove the cowl and core cover then remove the straps holding it in. make sure you disconnect all the hoses going to it first of course, and plug all the heater core ends to avoid getting it spilled everywhere. where eye protect when doing this, you think battery acid is bad? ethylene glycol is the worst!

the front heater core has a very small leak in it, I am not looking for a quick fix I just want to know how long and how difficult it is to remove and intsall a new one, I can purchase the heater core for like $18.00 on ebay and I am thinking about doing this myself. thanksHow hard is it and how long to change heater core in 92 astro van?Depending on your skills, it probably takes a few to several hours to do. Best thing to do is get a repair manual like a Chilton or Haynes from a parts store (they run around 25.00) or online through Eautorepair.net---small fee---and read the procedure on doing it. If it seems like too much work, get some quotes from repair shops on doing the job.business hosting hair styling
