The other night if was cold as so i went to put the climate control on, turned up

the temp to 32 degress and waited for hot air to come out, waited, waited, nothing,

the only thing coming out was cold air. I was using the heater a couple of nights before

and it seemed to be working fine. Everything else work fine as far as i'm aware of,

has anyone incurred this problem before?

Run a diagnostic check on the climate control system. The Workshop manual explains how to. If you dont already have it search for it and d\l it. It sounds to me that the tap that controls flow of water to the heater is not opening. It could be stuck or just plain broken.

I don't think the ambient air temp does too much.... it just tells you how high the temp is *outside* the car, and maybe does a small correction..

Proper way to test it all is.. put key in ignition position..

within 10 seconds, hold down the "off" button for 5 seconds.. will go into testing mode..

Press "up" (the arrow) 5 times i think it is (or is it 4).. this goes into the temp sensor area (it will display the temperature of each sensor in turn - there is about 4). Press AMB to view the temp each one is reading in turn. If you've got an abnormal or -30deg in any of them the sensor is bung.

There are other tests you can do when in the testing mode, but I think think the above will be most useful in this situation

There is a sensor at the front of the car (ambient read out) and there is another to the right of your ashtray behind the 4 little slits, I think, but not sure, your A/C and heater works from the temp coming from there and heats or cools accordingly. Can anyone else confirm this? :bunny:

When mine was doing this, it was the actuator arm falling off the blender motor (I think that's what it's called - that's what we called them when I worked for Ford anyway). The bit that controls whether hot or cold air came out anyway. It was stuck in the "cold" position obviously. I didn't fix it, but my mechanic had a quick look under the dash for me when I was there for something else and he fixed it in half a minute with a circlip or the like.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
