I PURCHASE THIS 2000 FORD Taurus in 2003, it's a good car. Only problem is the heat, which I started having problems in 2012. I had a mechanic put a new heater coil in my car, so I know its not that,also, had a thermostat installed and anti freeze. All this was done in Dec.2012 for $312.00.
The blower is blowing but not coming through the vents I can hear it ,I don't know what else to do to repair this.Please help;

i have the same problem as Jim N.,I understand the 'blend door' may be the culprit, it starts off warm then blows cold! hope its not expensive to fix!

My 2000 Ford Taurus FFV was started making a rattle sound under the hood, that got progressively worse. It turned out to be the A/C clutch. .Clutches are very expensive, so I first replace it with a $40 bypass pulley and took out the A/C compressor. No the bypass pulley sound like a coffee grinder; I wondered about it when I had it place in, because it looked made out of cheap plastic. So now I'm replacing the bypass pulley with a remanufactured A/C I picked up on eBy.

worst car in the world I only use the car because I got it as a gift.
