Thank you all! Solenoid gets the vote. I'll let you know. Much appreciated!!!

For a couple of days I have experienced an occasional click when starting my 52 Vic. Not all the time but once in a while. i cant tell if it is my ignition switch or the starter or the voltage regulator. The battery is ok and the car will eventually start. Any thoughts?

I may have a faulty blower switch. What is the correct way to remove it from the dashboard? Thanks for your input!

Thanks Emmett51 and tubman!

Hello My 52 Vic has a 2 speed blower switch. The low speed is working but not the high speed. I am getting an electrical odor on occasion and feel it is related to this problem. Heater motor is not warm or hot. Any thoughts? Thanks!

hotcoupe, thanks! I really enjoyed that film. Learned alot about Ford! Wish I still had my dad"s plant badge(Somerville Ma assembly plant) 1935 -1943, 1947-1957. Does this documentary continue beyond 1935? Thanks for sharing!

After spending a few weeks trying to get heat in my Vic, I solved the problem, thanks to many of you Ford people! Now that I have heat, I wanted to figure out why I could not control the temperature of the heat? the Ford manual tells how the system works but that is about it. The diagram of the...

Thanks MC!

Rayfry: the vac hose goes to the vac thermostat valve located in the heater plenum. It is actuated by the heat temp slider located on the Magic -Aire controller at the bottom of the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel. It controls the temp from OFF-HIGH. My heater problem is solved. I...

Good point Mark! Ill get back to the Barn later in the day with my results!!

Merc I'll get back to you!Cruzer: Good point on the hose to the water pump! Since I'm getting circulation within the core, maybe the exit tube to the lower block connection maybe blocked? I will remove the lower tube and see what is going on down there? Thanks to all of you for your advice! I'll...

Thanks guys! Ill be out there in the am. Oh! my coolant is GREEN does that count for something?

JSeery: Both flowing great!!

V8 COOPMAN: I agree with you! However, I was getting a total, clear flow of clean water coming through the heater core. I backflushed it first and then reversed the procedure. Both directions showed positive results. It doesnt make sense to me! I will repeat the process tomorrow and report the...

On an earlier thread I indicated that I was having a problem with my 52 v8 heater. Recently, I flushed the heater core and bypassed the control valve which , I believe, is faulty. The core looks very clean with no sludge when flushed. However, I'm still not getting any heat when the engine is...

Vilinar, you are correct! I appreciate your input as well as everyone else's! One of the photos may be labelled incorrect!

Your rubbing it in Merc! Ouch! Rain and cold here! I believe it is normally open for safety reasons. If a part of the system fails, the heater would still function to protect the passengers? If the exit hose to the block is cold that convinces me of a blocked circulating system. As soon as I...

Hi Merc I thought the valve was normally open? How strong should the engine vacuum be.? It doesn't seem to be strong enough to operate the diaphragm. When I run water thru the valve it flows easily. My wipers are very weak as well. Any way, since I have bypassed the control valve, circulation...

Thank you Merc Cruzer. I took the valve out. Cleaned it. Ran water thru it and it flows without obstruction. If I blow thru a tube it wont release air. If I apply vac to it, the inner diaphragm moves a tiny bit. I dont think it is any good. I still feel the core is plugged. I will move the...
