no heat

I have no heat! I wonder if it might be the heater core? Someone told me to check the heater control valve? Where might that be found? I'm getting cold so I need some help!

Whats your coolant level in your resevoir? Is the car overheating?

My car also runs pretty cool, but I think it has to do with one of the codes that I had show up today?? Guess this is a common problem with contours!

car temp. is normal. heater core cover is warm,but no hot air. coolant level is good. core not leaking. what else could it be?

If you have the duratec V6, the waterpump is pretty known for failure since the plastic impellar shatters over time.

I had a problem with my heat when I first got my car. I am not sure what year Contour you have but on the 98's there is a recall on part of the heater. Call Ford and have them run a VIN check on your car and they will let you know if you have the problem or not. I took mine into a Ford dealership and the fixed it for free.
