ok I'm new to the forum and sure this has been asked and answered many times but.... It's a 2003 EB with 168,000. It has the dual comfort heat/ac. The problem is when I need heat, there is no heat on driver side and luke warm heat on the passenger side. AC works great. After reading the forum I felt it was the blend door, but now think maybe it's the heater core.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

I had issues with the rear heat in my 2001 expedition, it was barely warm and I also thought I had a blend door issue, but upon inspection the blend door worked fine.

It ended up being that the rear coolant lines and rear heater core were plugged up, a few months prior in the summer I tried fixing a rad leak with a sealer that's poured into the coolant.

It didn't fix my leak and it ended up costing me a coolant flush in order to clear up the lines and heater cores. I usually never try the "fix in a bottle" type stuff, I line doing things the right way I just thought I'd give it a shot, and re affirmed my belief in fixing things the right way.

I also threw in a high flow thermostat and new gasket, and now when I put the heat on molten magma pours from the vents lol.

It's a very bitterly long and cold winter up here, so you find out right away which vehicles have good heat, and Ford's reputation for heat is well known around here.

Thanks for your reply. I did the blend door check through the glove box route and found that the blend door was operating properly. Both heater hoses are hot to the touch. The heat started working well, but still on the passenger side only.
I can't understand why the drivers side blows cool while the passenger side blows hot. Could it be the temp control on the drivers side?

It has to be the drivers side temp control. Is there 2 blend doors on dual zone climate controls?
