Car heater thermostat being replaced

Car Thermostat Replacement


Signs You Need a New Car Thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can lead to serious engine problems if not addressed promptly. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to have your thermostat checked and replaced::

  • Overheating Engine: If your car’s temperature gauge shows your engine is running too hot, or the engine itself overheats, a faulty thermostat might be the cause.

  • Poor Engine Performance: A bad thermostat can affect engine performance, leading to sluggish acceleration, reduced fuel efficiency, and rough idling.

  • Cold Engine: If your engine is slow to warm up or doesn’t reach the proper temperature, it could be a sign of a thermostat stuck in the "open" position.

  • Coolant Leaks: If you notice puddles of coolant or a sweet smell coming from the engine, a malfunctioning thermostat could be causing leaks.


Don’t ignore these symptoms! Early thermostat replacement can prevent engine damage and costly repairs down the road. Schedule your inspection today.

Car Heater Blower Motor Repair


Restore Warmth Back To Your Cabin: If your car heater has stopped blowing hot air, the blower motor might need repair. Here are common signs that your blower motor is failing:

  • Unusual Noises: Grinding or squeaking sounds when you turn on the heater can point to problems with the motor’s bearings or fan blades.

  • Burning Smell: A burning smell can indicate overheating in the motor or an electrical malfunction, which could be caused by worn-out bearings or debris in the motor.

  • Fan Speed Issues: If your fan works intermittently or only at certain speeds, the blower motor may be malfunctioning. This could be due to a faulty motor resistor or a failing motor.

Keep Your Heater Functioning Properly: In addition to blower motor issues, electrical problems can also affect your car’s heating system. Common symptoms of a malfunctioning heating electrical system include:

  • Electrical Shorts: Short circuits can cause blown fuses, burned-out wiring, or a complete failure of the heater system.

  • Faulty Temperature Control: If the heater blows hot air when it should be cool, or vice versa, it could be due to an electrical issue within the temperature control system.

  • Strange Smells: Burning smells, such as melting insulation or overheating components, are red flags that your electrical system needs urgent attention.


Stay safe! If you notice any of these signs, have your car’s electrical system inspected immediately to avoid further damage.

Why Did My Car Heater Stop Working?


The most common fix for a car heater blower not working is a heater motor replacement. In some cases the problem can stem from under the hood. Other related causes if your heats not working include:


  • Coolant leak: low coolant supply to the heater core will result in no heat in your car, truck or SUV

  • Heater core repair: a small radiator that controls coolant flow for heat inside the cabin

  • Heater blower motor: no heat blowing inside the cabin

  • Radiator problem: a radiator repair or recore may correct a no heat problem

  • Faulty HVAC controls and valves: small parts in the car's heating & AC system that can fail

  • Thermostat problem: a stuck or faulty thermostat will not enable the heat to kick in


If your vehicle is warmed up and the vents are blowing cold air, the problem is likely your heater or engine coolant. Your car's heating system uses coolant (antifreeze) from the radiator. If coolant is low and there's not enough to supply both the engine and the heating system, the engine takes precedence. A more serious problem when your heat is not working is the water pump. The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant throughout the engine and radiator, if the problem is the pump, coolant runs through the engine rather than the heating system.



Should I Repair or Replace a Car Heater Blower Motor?


When a vehicle stops blowing air from the vents caused by a bad heater blower motor - replacement is required. Your car's heater blower is the main electric motor responsible for blowing both hot and cold air out of the vents. If it no longer works or stopped working at certain speeds the problem is likely a heater blower motor repair. Aside from the discomfort, you might also notice the window defogger stopped working among other issues such as fogged windows and antifreeze smell inside the cabin. Fortunately, if it's a heater blower motor replacement, there are a few signs we describe below that let you know it's time for a repair.
