Ford Ranger 87 2.9 XLT Heater not blowing Hot air. All vents are blowing out air, defrost, lower and middle. Flapper is closing from AC to Heat. I do not think that the heater coil is getting hot . One side of tube coming out of fire wall is hot the other is cold. How do you know which one is to go to what side?

When car is at operating temp both heater pipes should be more or less the same temperature. If one is cold, try getting the car up in the air so the radiator or expansion tank is higher than the heater...release (carefully) the pressure cap and give the engine three good revs, see if any air comes out and heater pipes equalise. I there is no air in your system you may have a heater water valve fault. Try to locate valve and see what contols it (mechanical , electrical, vacuum)..maybe itcan be manually moved to open, maybe it neds to be replaced.
If you replace it, the air must be bled from the cooling system (see above), but run car until warm with cap off and air will bubble out.
always check coolant levels later when car is cold. Top up coolant as required.

SOURCE: my heat only blows out

The system defaults to defrost when it has no vacuum supply from the engine. check the plastic vacuum line from the engine intake manifold to the heater control panel. Especially look at the rubber hose that connects the line at the engine. If that;s good, follow it thru the fire wall and see if there are any tees, etc where it could leak. Listen for a vacuum leak at the mode control switch. Could leak at the connection or inside the switch. Please let me know if you get stuck or have any questions.

SOURCE: heater is blowing but its cold air not hot air 2000 expedition

Make sure the heater core is in the open position by using the shut off valve and turning it to open. next, you may have a malfunction in the direction door the directs the air flow in the dash. a lever may have become lose or separated. may be a bad servo motor not directing the door to move to the heater position. i would start by checking that shut off valve first on the heater core.

SOURCE: AC/heater vent only blow out hot air

that switch controls a vacuum operated door that lets a/c or heat thru.when accelerating,the vacuum in the engine changes so it sound like a vacuum issue.take apart the center stack and there is a vacuum actuator in there connected to the flap door .i have seen those have issues with the metal tab broken away from the plastic that moves it.is the a/c piping cold under the hood where it goes into the heater a/c assembly?the compressor should be cycling on and off and the pressure tested.

All vents were blowing air (hot/cold), except the middle two vents. I took off the dash to access the the middle vents. After doing this I found the foam vent flapper was closed. I can either force the...

If your heater is electric control then you will have accuators that open/close then vents when you change the temp settings. If this is the case you will need to determine what accuator is out to replace it. Most vehicles will use the same accuator, meaning, if your car has 3 accuators then most likely all 3 will be the same, but not in all cases.

When i turn my heater on to blow out to defrost or floor it does not blow hot air. but you can feel the hot air behind the dash

Rear a/c heat vent do not work

Sounds like the flapper valve for the rear heater/AC core is not doing its job to send the air through the AC core when called for.

Another clue of this is the fact that the air is coming out on the lower vents when it should be up high fro AC.

Have someone listen back by the fan inlet in the back usually on the right while you switch between AC and heat to see if they hear any noise or change in air flow.

Worst case is that the interior panel there has to be removed to service the assembly behind it.
