Q: 1999 dodge durango heater core in need of replacement. Any tips or recomendations?
I am under the understanding I will need to remove the entire dashboard. Is this the only way?

A: Here’s my suggestion to gain experience go to a big do it yourself auto wreckers and take out a couple of heater cores bec it is a huge job and the book states about 9 hrs for a shop to do it.
I’ve done several heater cores and really few vehicles are designed to make it easy to do , plus there maybe a shortcut you can use but I doubt it on that vehicle.
If you do decide to install a used one you can get them tested at some of the rad shops or auto wreckers for about 20 to 30 bucks and if you ask me that’s worth the extra bit of cash to know it’s a good heater core. To me unless the vehicle has low mileage or is in great shape and you plan on keeping several years it’s not worth spending the big bucks on a new one or the 9hrs of labour.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way keep in mind that a few different things can make it seem that a heater core is bad and it’s not bad at all.
No1 check the two small hoses goes to the heater core under the hood , one of them should get hot once engine is warmed up and full heat is on.If one of the hoses isn’t hot then check antifreeze with antifreeze tester and check the thermostat , plus check for leaks etc.
No2 a simple test you can do to check if the heater core has a clog is to reverse the two hoses by switching them around and letting the engine at it’s warmed up state with heat on full run awhile , then simply try switching them around again and see if any changes occur.
No3 is if the heater core has an air clog in it switching the hoses around for a few mins could help and also you could try to bleed the coolant system many vehicles have bleeder valves.
No4 two common failer traits of heater cores is a scent that appears when heat is on and another is a mist or grime that shows up on the inside of windshield.If you’ve any of these two systems then indeed the heater core is shot and needs replacing.
No5 be sure you do get at least two a second shop to diagnose such problems to be sure that it is indeed the heater core at fault here.
No6 shop around if purchasing a new core bec prices can tend to really vary and be sure you check the rad shops for prices on them and the labour if needed.

Q: How do I fix my 2000 Dodge Caravan blinker and dashboard lights???
We have tried replacing the blinker light but it did not help.
The left blinker works when it wants to, it stops or pauses in the on position but is not blinking. The right one blinks rapidly and the tail light is not on even after the bulb replacement.
My dash board does not light up at all. All the rest of the interior lights work. I have some trouble with my window going down on the left aswell(automatic)
I’m looking for answers to help us maybe do this on our own to be affordable as money is tight, or at least maybe I can know what I’m talking about if I have to take it somewhere so I don’t get rooked.
Thanks

A: It sounds like the BCM to me body control module.

Q: Hey Dodge Man! Or someone else, please help! 1988 S10 Blazer Question?
I have a 88 S10 Blazer, and the dashboard/instruments panel lights don’t work when I put the headlights on.

They light up if the headlights are off, but when I switch headlights off the interior lights don’t work. It also affects the dome light inside.

I don’t know if it’s something in the dash that i need to look at or a mis-wired issue.

The dash and instrument cluster has been off before for a heater core replacement and the actual controls for the lights (both interior and exterior) has been replaced .

Also, the previous owner had a stereo and amplifier installed and there were no problems then, but when they were removed from the car some of these problems started.

Any advise???
it should say when i switch headlights ON the interior lights don’t work. Sorry

A: There is a ground wire that is loose or poor connection. the location is
on the drivers side just in front and above the park brake pedal, if you take off that side trim panel and look up you will see it.
