• Q: How to Service and Repair a Heater Core on 2005 Ford Excursion?

  A: The heater core service begins with clamping off the water hoses and disconnecting them followed by heater core quick disconnect clamp removal. Lower or drop the glove compartment door once the stops are disengaged. Protect the heater core from damage by not flexing its brittle panel/floor door lever since it has the potential to fracture. The vacuum control motor for the panel/floor door can be removed when you disconnect its vacuum line and remove screws before rotating the motor until the lever disengages. Start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the electronic blend door actuator and bracket assembly before removing the two screws which will enable you to rotate it to extract it. You should remove seven screws before disconnecting the wiring harness retainer from the heater core cover while raising the cover vertically for keeping heater core housing untouched. You must remove the heater core first after taking out the heater core cover then position the temperature blend door manually before electrical engagement to stop actuator damage from occurring. As a final step before replacement install the gasket between the housing and cover. The completion of this task requires reversing the removal procedures for the engine cooling system fill-up.
