Dude.... You've just saved me from tearing up my dash.

Thanks Honda for making that hard to get to

Dude, I saw this video and your other one, took a look at my heater valve, and I see the screw is not moving! I think I've found my problem! Thanks so much for posting this.

@fibulator Glad its working for you. Once the hoses get old, they dry out and get a little brittle. You may try wrapping an old towel or washcloth around the hose and twisting the hose with a big adjustable pliers. Or if you are replacing the host, you could carefully cut the hose off with a utility knife hook and install the new one. Best of luck!

Awesome Video MAn! My accord heater is not working. I will try this as soon I as get home. THANKS A LOT!

No sweat, thanks for checking it out. Let us know how it goes!

For my situation, the new heater control valve came with the valve, arm, and the screw attaching the two (I re-used the firewall bracket, hose, and hose-clamp). The heater control valve is 'keyed' with a house-shaped protrusion (see my other video). I am unaware whether other applications have the same shape/size 'key' but I would believe its fairly universal. The screw can likely be re-used provided the hole on your new valve is less than or equal to the diameter of your old valve.

@ormand3000 Not a silly question at all. Without seeing it first hand, its tough to make a diagnosis. Perhaps drying the fluid and "dusting" the area with talcum powder would help determine the source of the leak. It is likely the interface between the hoses and the radiator; if any material was left on the radiator fitting, or if there were some imperfections on the radiator fitting, it may provide a leak path. I would think about getting new radiator hose clips and seeing if that helps.

@JIGGYNJIVE thanks man... the fan does blow air and it does respond to high and low settings ... it has plenty of coolant...will work on the others things U said... thanks again.. I may get back to U..

I think the heater control valve was about $35. Keep in mind, you will need to drain your radiator/heater core, so be sure to pick up some antifreeze! You might as well flush your cooling system at this point too, hopefully its warm where you live. Good Luck!

@therealMarcushall There could be two things happening. First, the servo that moves the push-rod (that's connected to the valve arm and moves the arm) may be failed in one direction. Second, the push-rod could be broken. Consequently, when the push-rod is pushed, the two broken halves line up and the arm is pushed. However, when the push-rod is pulled, the valve stays in the last 'pushed' position. This is an interesting case, let us know how it works out!

Thanks man, you wouldnt believe how much this helps me and boost my confidence. I had a leak and wasnt even sure whats the name of this hose until I came upon this video. Now that I know its name and purpose I'm off to the autoparts store. One question for you. My hose is leaking from the engine side near the distributor, do I need to remove the distributor to replace the hose? It looks a little daunting.

@bigbubbabuford We may need to break it down into smaller parts. Does the fan blow air? Does it respond to hi and low settings? As far as the heat is concerned, try some initial inspections: enough coolant? are the upper radiator hoses getting warm? Engine Thermostat working? have you checked for blockage in the heater core? For the AC, is the compressor kicking on? have you vacuum checked the refrigerant line? Tried adding some R-138 to the system. These answers will guide to solution.

@lukeritchiedesigns Gotta love it when a plan comes together! Its always good to be able to fix a problem on one's own!

Some times you can turn the dial & heat pours in "awesome" then another time,NO heat at all.she did put pepper in radiator..Then one time was told to try another antifreeze..??so this mixture may have hurt radiator??.plz help??

Hey thank you so much for showing this video. My Honda was blowing hot air all the time vents open or closed. Found the heat valve arm pushed it and instant cool air!

Same problem here. Check my control valve like you did in the video but mine opens and closes... Could it be that cable? It doesnt look to be doing anything.

0thers1d3 did you fix it

Wish this wasnt filmed with a rock

Followed your instructions and located valve. It will move when the temp gauge is turned to cold but won't when it is switched back to hot so is there anything else I need to look at?

I have a silly question. I have 230k mi 2001 Honda Accord 4cyl automatic and I recently had a coolant leak from my radiator. I replaced the radiator and upper/lower hoses. Well since then, my car isn't overheating and runs great but I have a small coolant leak somewhere and I can't find it. Its falling onto the ground directly behind the passenger front tire along the frame rails. Its not the radiator, drain, or hoses...any insight? Thanks for your videos :-)

My accord 07 have the same problem. I replace the radiator, heater core, glendoor motor, thermostat n put a new engine in and it still not blowing no heat. Help im tired of spending all this money.

I have a 99 honda accord Air cond nor heater is working ... Do U think it is the control panel inside for AC/heat ?

if the heater control valve is stuck open as your video says it is, wouldn't it always have full heat?

bigbubbabuford I have the same problem. How did you fix it?

I sold the car .. but I think it is the control panel

oh shit this sound just like mine tho. Thank I will check this out soon tho.

You are correct. When the heater control valve is stuck open, my heater would have been full-on. My valve was initialy nearly fully closed. However, the action of unscrewing the screw caused the valve to open before there was enough resistance to remove the screw from the valve.

94 Honda Accord has no heat..We flushed it..Far as we know its clean..now coolant wont circulate around..We found oil on sparks plugs..Now what??

You need to replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug hole seals. The spark plug seals come with the valve cover gasket. Search you tube for the video.

oh and cable is not moving
