How to replace the heater core on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

It's tough for do-it-yourself mechanics now to remove the instrument panel on 2001 model cars due to lots of hard-to-reach bolts and connections. First, take off the evaporator housing, and next remove the instrument panel. Step by step: First remove the PCM and its heat sink and put them to the side. At the engine end of the firewall, loose the four nuts holding the heater plenum to the firewall, then let the plenum drop down onto the car's floor. Unscrew the five cover screws on the plenum, and take the cover off. Take off the heater core by removing it from the housing, then reassemble everything the opposite way when you put it back.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Heater Core

Heater Core in Ford Explorer Sport Trac models is used for warming up the car body and then releasing this heat to the car cabin. The central body of the radiator appears somewhat similar to a radiator, for it is cooled by a water and antifreeze mix; materials such as aluminium or brass are used for construction of the part. It comes with temperature controls for regulating the temperatures; relatively complex options such as dual climate control for luxury are also available. As a result of heating the cabin air, the heater core could therefore also help in cooling of the engine as well as demisting. Problems which could be experienced by these pipes include blockage, development of cracks and rusting and in most occasions repairs imply dismantling. It is understood that there are other means of heating to the air cooled engines but safety factors have to be taken into consideration.
