Honda Accord Cooling System?
I have a 2005 Honda Accord EX 2.4 L. There's a small black box behind the engine. A hose comes into the box from the engine and a hose leaves the box and goes into the firewall that separates the engine compartment from the car cabin. This box has a screw that goes into the front of it and connects to what looks like a 10 speed bike cable. This screw has broken off and water comes out of the hole just as soon as I put it into the radiator. I need to replace this part but have no idea what it is. Can anyone tell me a name for the piece that is broken?
If it has a cable, it's almost certainly the heater valve. Check by turning the heater to "hot", and note the position. Then turn heater to "off" and check again. If the cable and linkage moved, it's the heater valve. Easiest thing to do is to go to a junkyard and buy the replacement part there -- no guarantee how long it lasts, but it's cheap, available, and it fits. Be sure to keep fresh coolant in the car to prevent recurrence.
Heater Control Valve?
Got a picture?
Looks like it is the heater control valve. Picture on autozone website matches the part I pulled off the car.
- Why does AC quit cooling on 2011 Honda CRV? Seems to be working fine- then hot air? The wife complained yesterday- so I checked ut. Its has freon in it. Pressure check was in the green. Blowing cool. Again today she calls- it started blowing hot air again. Could it be something beside the compressor?
- Cooling fan not working, 2004 Honda civic? I've unplugged the temp sensor and put a wire in the plug to test the fan and it comes on when I do that, so the relay has to be working and the fan isn't broken either. I switched the Temperature sensor hoping the old one was just broken, but my car's still over heating and the fan won't come on. It was working perfectly fine until just last week. Anyone know what the problem could be?
- Can a head gasket sealer fix combustion gases leaking into my cooling system? I have a 2005 Honda Civic that seems to be leaking combustion gases into the cooling system. No external leaks and no signs of oil in coolant, but the car would heat up after a good 30 min drive. Since the vehicle is old, I'm not sure if I want to get an expensive repair or seal it with a head gasket sealer (mainly because i'm not sure if it will actually fix, and if it is good long-term). Any ideas?
- 2016 Honda civic cooling fans not working? I got in a fender bender and i needed to replace my radiator and my a/c condenser. Then i'm about to drive and notice my fans weren't turning on, i know i plugged everything back in, i bought a new cooling switch but still won't turn on.
