    Default Guessing Heater Coil


    When we were going up to Grenada this past weekend, my AC quit blowing and I started smelling Anti freeze. Got home and noticed the truck was dripping water out from under the hood. It's coming from this little hose in the pic which is right up against the dash on the passengers side. It's not dripping bad. maybe a drop every other second. I'm thinking it's the heater coil. What those thing runs? From what I've been told, they have to take the dang dash out to get to it

    Heater cores are a pain to replace. Let's hope it's something more simple. How could a leaking heater core stop your A/C from working?
    Keep us posted. Good luck, Bud. Do you feel lucky?

    you said your AC quit blowing, is it not moving air or is it hot?

    turn on your defrost on high heat, see if your windsheild gets slick.

    if it's slick it's the heater core.

    It's prolly your condenser core and it's supposed to be dripping. If it stopped blowin, then your fan motor or the fan motor switch has laid down on ya.

    There is a moisture buildup on the windshield Tush. It's been a long time (over 20 years) since I've had a heater coil go out and I'm pretty sure that's what this is. I want to get it fixed by next weekend but if not, I'll just throw in a couple gallons of water into jugs for the trip up

    You need to get it fixed, if it gets bad it will fog out the vents
    And you'll show up with a sheen on you.
