how do i change matrix heater on escort van?

try putting a 12v feed to the heater fan, if it works, you have a problem with your wiring, if it doesnt work, your blower is faulty.

hope this helps.

For a short term solution, you could run a small electric heater within the engine compartment which will keep everything nice and warm for your early morning starts.
I remember my father using an extension trouble light and leaving it under the engine compartment during the winters.

it might be the starter or ignition

its a small 10mm nut below the alternator but just above the sump

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO LOCK? IS IT FOR THE CAMBELT TO BE CHANGED? IF SO THERE ARE TWO, ONE IN THE CAMSHAFT AND THE OTHER IN THE PUMP

Replace the temp control on this car, it should be electrical control not cables.

Have you checked the heater plug relay?
