I have a 1997 Ford Taurus that would only blow cold air, I replaced the thermostat and no heat. We flushed the system from a ford dealer no heat. Had to replace the heater core plenty of heat now. Other possibilities are: * a malfunctioning temperature blend door * Plugged heater core See "Related Questions" below for more
Need to check the fan.
The gauge does not cause the heat; it only shows what it is.
Engine heat comes into drivers side.

The temperature control module for a 1997 Ford explorer is the unit that controls all of the heat and ac functions. If it is not operating properly, then the heat ac and defrost will work improperly or not at all.
you may have an overcooling problem. check your thermostat and temperature switch. the thermostat regulates fluid in and out of the radiator, and the switch tells the fans to come on to cool the engine.
Heater core, water pump, leaking lines, vacuum leak, thermostat are the most common fixes. If you look up Ford Taurus and any of those words between the commas it will tell you where it is and how to check or replace it.
