  Q: How to Service a Heater Core on Chrysler Voyager?

  A:

  The front heater core can be serviced after you first disable the air bag system by removing and isolating the battery negative cable and then allowing the air bag system capacitor to discharge for two minutes. Take out the screws in the silencer boot holding the underside of the steering shaft to the dashboard. Afterward, take the brake lamp switch off its holder and free it from the input rod on the brake pedal arm. When the vehicle has power adjustable pedals, first remove the assembly that has them. Place something under the heater core to stop coolant from getting to the carpet and store towels nearby to deal with any spills. Pull out the heater core tubes and undo the screws holding the heater core mounting plate to the HVAC air distribution housing. If the pedals in your car can't be moved, give the car gas and push the brake pedal to move the air distribution housing enough for you to take the heater core out. Gently remove the heater core from the hole in the air distribution housing. For installation, unless you have power adjustable pedals, extend the accelerator pedal and compress the brake pedal to allow space for the heater core in the HVAC box. Ensure the heater core is fully inserted into the side of the air distribution housing and fix it with the two screws, trying not to exceed 17 in. lbs. Place the replacement heater core tubes and then, if your vehicle has power pedals, put on the electronic pedal assembly. Secure the brake booster input rod to the external pin on the brake pedal arm and attach the brake lamp switch to its bracket underneath. After that, slide the silencer boot over the lower steering shaft on the dash, then replace and attach the negative battery cable. Should you replace your heater core, flush the cooling system and top up the engine cooling system with the proper fluid.

  Q: What Impact Do Insufficient Coolant Levels and Air Entrapment Have on Heater Core Efficiency and Engine Temperature on Chrysler Voyager?

  A:

  The rear heater core should be above the radiator fill cap in its installed place which may cause less coolant in the engine and create air bubbles in the heater, resulting in engine overheating and ineffective rear heater performance. Before installing the heater hoses, pre-fill the rear heater core with the correct coolant, fit the heater core into the housing for the rear A/C unit and install the side housing into the vehicle to avoid these problems. Take care not to spill the coolant on the carpet and stick a funnel into the top hose connection on the heater core to ensure the coolant comes out of the bottom. After you clean up the spill, put the heater hoses back in with the engine cooling system fully refilled. If the rear heater core was emptied and not filled before, you should fill the engine cooling system, let the engine run until the Thermostat is open and cool, check and top off the coolant level, then start another thermal cycle two more times before you check the rear heater. After the engine is started and idled to operating temperature with the front heater off and the rear heater and rear Blower Motor at highest speed, you should check the amount of air coming from the rear. The temperature of air exiting the rear heater at the back of the right C-pillar should be measured and it is expected to fall between 57 °C to 63 °C (135 °F to 145 °F). An unsuccessful check could mean there is air in the rear heater core or that the plumbing system is blocked.
