Following all the given warnings and cautions helps prevent both personal injury and death. Neither the core tubes nor the heater core should be serviced alone, because loosening or taking out the tubes can cause coolant to leak. Detach the negative battery cable to start and afterwards remove the HVAC housing and move it to a work bench. After that, remove the foam seal from both the heater core tubes and the flange at the start of the HVAC housing. Should there be a plastic retaining strap holding the heater core tubes to the flange, remove it. With two screws on the air distribution housing, remove the heater core retaining bracket from the driver side side. After that, separate the heater core's tubes from the flange and pull it gently out of the air distribution housing on the side.

How to Install a Heater Core on Dodge Caravan?

Install the heater core on RS models by first ensuring the heater core tubes match up with the flange inside the driver side of the air housing, then very carefully put the heater core into place. Then, fit the heater core retaining bracket onto the air distribution housing with two screws, tightening them to 2 Nm (17 in.lbs.) using a screwdriver. Attach the heater core tubes to the driver's side of the HVAC housing using the plastic retaining strap, then cover everything with the foam seal. After that, fasten the HVAC housing assembly and reattach the negative battery cable. If you remove and replace the heater core, conduct a cooling system flush, fill the cooling system again, remove the refrigerant, charge the refrigerant and calibrate the control for the heater and A/C.

This fixture, known as the Heater Core in Dodge Caravan vehicles fulfills the important task of warming up the interior with the help of extra heat from the engine. Similar to the Heater Core, the latter resembles a miniature radiator; however, it is cooled by water and antifreeze the same as the engine coolant channels hot air into the cabin. Some requirements may include the orientation changes of the different Heater Cores and improved design may include pressure regulating valves or doors and even electromechanical actuators and thermistors to enhance comfort. Heater Core also helps in dehumidifying the air in addition to being an auxiliary cooler for the engine in air-conditioned vehicles. However, ordinary problems like clogging, leakage and corrosion of the dashboard can be a big problem since they may lead to expensive repairs that may call for most of the dashboard to be dismantled.
