Ford Fairmont Heater Core
The Ford Fairmont Heater Core is a compact under-dash radiator that provides warmth and clears glass. In every Ford Fairmont car, hot coolant pumped from the engine goes through the fins of the Heater Core, and the blower pushes air across those fins. The excess heat of the engine is converted into hot air inside the cabin. To begin with, early Ford Fairmont models came with brass or copper units. Later editions applied aluminum designs, which had tighter fin spacing for improved heat transfer and resisted corrosion better. However, both styles share the same coolant-to-air principle. Temperature management is accomplished by either a flow-control valve in the hose or a blend door allowing air to bypass the Heater Core, so drivers can have simple slider panels or more advanced electromechanical controls that can select anything from gentle defogging to full blast heat. The Heater Core may function as a small auxiliary radiator since it also sheds engine heat, although clogs or leaks from neglected coolant can hinder the system's effectiveness. Start with fresh coolant to keep the Ford Fairmont climate system and Heater Core reliable and safe from clog and corrosion.

Ford Fairmont Heater Core Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace a heater core in a Ford Fairmont?A:Loosen the radiator cap, open the radiator drain cock and partially drain the cooling system which will also drain the heater core. Disconnect the heater core inlet and outlet hoses where they enter the back of the core. Plug the heater core tubes to prevent spillage when the core is removed inside the vehicle. Remove the glove box inner liner to give access to the heater core cover. Note: Some vehicles may not have a removable cover for access to the heater core. To replace the core on such vehicles, the entire heater case must be removed and disassembled. Remove the instrument panel cowl brace. Move the temperature control lever to the Warm position. Through the glove box opening, remove the 4 screws retaining the heater core cover and remove the cover. Loosen the 3 heater case mounting studs from the engine compartment side. Push the heater core tubes and seal toward the inside of the vehicle to separate the core assembly from the heater case. Withdraw the heater core assembly through the glove box and remove it. Installation is the reverse of removal. Refill the cooling system and check the heater for proper operation.
