Posted 4 years ago and still relevant and helping people. Thanks, man!

Mr Robert, I love your videos! I like yourself am a stand alone make it happen guy. I have gotten help working on my cars but that is not the norm. I’m not a patient man like you are though. Thank You for being a teacher and sharing your knowledge.

Outstanding job, Robert! Really appreciate your help! I’m very impressed with your patience, professionalism as well as your personable communication skills!

Thanks for the video, I found it useful when doing an air box repair on my G.M. I found it useful to thread a small spring onto the airbox screws then stretch the non threaded part of the spring into a long wire then run the wire through the holes in the airbox where the screws need to go. This way they kind of self guide and make it way easier for 1 person.

I'm almost confident to try this on my own Marquis. Heater core is shot and outta there!!! 💗 the Video very detailed. (NEW SUBSCRIBER)👍

That's a job that I have coming in the near future. My '01 just gave me a sign when I turned the heat on the other day... The smell. This morning, I got the second sign... Interior window fog. Thankfully, I can take as much time as I need as I also have an '03 Crown Vic P-71 to drive while fixing the Mercury. Thanks for the video.

Great video Robert!

Well done--2 days and no cuss words while doing this!? Good information

You were very informative..im actually about to do that right now to the same vehicle in the video

Dude, if someone had never attempted something like this before this video would be great for them.

I have a '97 CV with 197K on it, I've been lucky, no problems other than the Blendor door breaking which is typical. I don't think any cars built after the 80s are really easy with this. Good video.

Very helpful! Thank you for your time!

Definitely useful. Mine just went yesterday. Have to do this over the weekend. 😂

Thats a hell of a job man. Good stuff. Dexcool.....uggg. lol 👍👍🌄🌄

amazing camera work.

Great video, Lots of help before I start the same project on my town car, If I have your patience I will be successful, If not I will call the junkyard to take her away.

Very clear. Thanks.

Man you rock I'm tired and frustrated just looking😫

I had problems with my steering column cause no one told me not to pull back on it I did cause I too was doing it myself, I totally messed up my steering now I know how to pull an replace steering column. Do not pull on steering wheel at all just drop it an an put back or you find trouble

... definition of STUD!...

Thank you!!

Damn... nice job. You should be billing double since you got 'er done w/o any help!

Hi Robert thanks so much. I have a question I hope you can answer. My Grand Marquis only blows hot air. A/C system works fine and the heater core doesnt leak. It looks like a door or something is stuck, since it doesnt respond to lowering the temperature. You would assume the actuator is the problem, but I dont hear the clicking sound it makes when it is broke. So my question is: how many doors does the actuator actually move?? is there only ONE door? or more

with so many heater core brands out there.. which one after all this nightmarish work should I buy? I can't afford a factory expensive one but on Rock Auto they are anywhere between $20 and $80!! is aluminum good?

Word of advice. If you need to know how to open the hood. Pay someone to do the heater core

yo get the top bolt out of the firewall, put the nut on the end of the bolt under the hood. use a socket and an extension and, hit it with a hammer. it is held in place between the housing and the firewall with a thin metal retainer.

Good video. By any chance do you have a link to the heater core you bought. I was looking on rockauto and they have different sizes. Thanks

I had a 1994 crown Victoria a few years ago. best car I ever had I must add I live in Minnesota I took it into north Dakota once to race it I don't want to repeat it I came close of wrecking it down by the north and south Dakota boarder I wouldn't have survived the needle showed I was doing close to 120 mph. that was my last race I do want another

Thanks Robert. I watched your video, to see what is involved. I have a 2004 Marquis, and only notice one hose going into the fire wall. Not sure where they put the other hose at on the 04 Marquis. I will probably take the car to an AC place I know, who specializes in auto A/C, and let him do it. I smell something and assume it's radiator fluid burning. The radiator was more than a gallon low on fluid when I checked it today. I see no water on the floor or dripping anywhere . The floor is not wet. Since I'm losing water somewhere, and see steam or smoke coming from around the fan casing, I assume it may be a heater core, maybe a hole at the top somewhere ? Ford dealer doesn't carry the core any more, so they refused to work on the problem. I really have no other choice but to take it to an AC place. One tip on the Crown Vics and Marquis... if you ever have a situation where you've changed plugs and coils, and still have the engine light come back on, and notice the car seems to be misfiring, then find a Ford dealer who will reprogram the main computer. I tried 6 Ford Dealers in Miami, and finally found the seventh one I tried, who will reprogram the main computer. If I had found that dealer from the start, it would have saved me about 900 dollars in needless repairs and parts that other mechanics thought was the problem. Watch Black Conservative Patriot on youtube. Great news

Robert diy is it the same for a 99 Lincoln Town car to remove heater core ?

It's a very sad commentary on Ford for making this so damned hard. They did a similar thing for the Taurus, but it sounds like this is even harder. Which is ridiculous as heater cores are an "eventual fail" item. They build them just well enough to get them through the new car warranty... After that, Ford doesn't care.

Is a 2001 f150 heater core the same as a 2006 Crown vic heater core? They look the same 2 me I have a 2001 f150 parts truck in the back of my house and I have a 2006 Crown vic with a bad heater core and I don't have the money 2 buy a new one right now. Thank you in advance.

Hey Robert hope you are doing well. I did the job on a Grand Marquis. The problem now is that I don’t have heat nor do I have any control of where the air comes out of. It only comes out of the vents now. Any ideas? Did I do something wrong doing the job? Most of the vents work but the one for control to switch off of vents does not.

Excellent video Robert! Question: Why can't the new heater core be placed or installed under the hood instead of going through all that?

I found after doing this job that my blend door actuator was bad so it is a good idea to replace it while you have it apart. Also, my vent door is stuck so I only get air out of the vents. I checked it out and the door is stuck open and the components and vacuum are good. Does anyone have any ideas on how to free the door????

Did the job and now my reverse / back up lights are stuck on . Any advice on how to fix that ?

Is this the same process for the evaporator core? i have a 2011 Lincoln town car. The only videos i was able to find is hack jobs. where they cut the metal under the hood and bend it back

ive done these on cars from the 2008 all the way back to ones from when the panther cars first came out. its pretty much the same procedure as far as what to remove, bolt location , dropping the column. the only difference is cars in the early 90s had airbags and a small bit more wiring.

What if you have a leak on driver side I have a 03 grand marquis and my driver floorboard is wet but it doesn’t smell like coolant in fact it doesn’t have a Oder so would I still replace heater core?

Hey Mr Robert I change my heater core in my 2001 grand mercury an now it wouldn't crank sound like it not getin no gas

Hey sir I have a question I hope you can respond and try to help me, I'm going to try to back flush my 2001 grand Marquis heater core, I've had it bypassed for about 5 years now so I haven't had heat, but now I want to try to fix it but before I bypassed it when I would turn my heat on my my entire front windshield would fog up, so with that said do you think my core was clogged or would it have been a leak? So with a leak I know the flush won't help, but give me your thoughts please, also last I want to ask I've started to notice recently that whenever it rains alot and my car sits, the entire back seat floor boards will become entire soaked with puddles of water, the doors aren't leaking water so I have no idea where the water is coming from, any info will really help, have a goodnight, thank you

I can't seem to get the dashboard to come off.. is there a bolt near the bottom center that holds it?

Hello, how are you I want to replace a heater core for my Grand Marquis. Do you recommend any specific high quality heater core? And what is the name of the company

Juss got the foggy windows and the smell. Dreading doing this this weekend

Hi Robert, you forgot the instructions for the driviers side of the dash board. We only see the passenger side instructions to get to the heater core

Will this work for my 91 lincoln town car ?

I’m having a hard time getting the box back in place towards the driver side?

You have a cool accent!

Sir I’m having a stuck issue I’m trying to put it back together on the fire wall .

Are you In Albuquerque ? i seen a CNM sticker on that car.... I have a 1995 Grand Marquis in need of attention

Hi Robert, What is the diameter of the heater core hoses? I need to buy a piece to bypass mine.

My 92 crown Victoria...know how i changed leaky heater core...i didn't....two cans black pepper....one coarse....followed next day with one fine...not the best solution...but on my 140k beater...why spend time and money you don't have to...

Great vid only thing I'd suggest is don't use Dex-Kill products.

Are you in Mn???

😊😊😊😊😊

Is it the same for an 2003?

That's ridiculous amount of work for that... Good job tho
