No heat 06 equinox
My 07 Equinox has no heat. Dealer has had the vehicle for 2 days and says he doesn't know what the problem is. His original diagnosis was faulty vent motor. Not the case. The car temps up so its not an engine issue or thermostat issue. We just can't get warm air into the cabin. Has anyone heard of this before? This vehicle also had a defective turn signal. Talk about problems with foundational items which shouldn't break... turn signal and heat!! Dealer is contacting Chevy technical assistance. Any ideas? Thanks.

RE: No heat 06 equinox
Hey, I had the same problem in my 05. It is the heater core that failed I have talked to others who had the same problem and it was the heater core as well in there cases. I work at a Pontiac Buick GMC dealership and even with my discount its 1300 dollars to replace it and you have to take apart the entire dash to replace it yourself. Hope this helps.

heater core
Get engine temp. up to normal. Turn heater on. Feel both hoses going to heater core in engine compartment.Both should be warm or hot. If only 1 is, heater core is blocked. Let cool,disconnect hoses(careful because some cores are plastic). Connect garden hose to either side(make up adaptor with hose and clamps) and slowly turn on water. I had same problem and you wouldn't believe the crap that was flushed out!Switch hose to other side and flush again. Put back together.top off radiator and enjoy the heat. Good luck.

This!!
there is a recall for 2006 models.
Gm has issued a special tool for this repair. It will install a sleeve over the broken blend door in vehicle. If all goes well, its a 1 hour fix instead of 6.5 hours to remove and replace the blend door...with the same part that will break in another 6 years. The sleeve repair will not break.

We have a equinox 05 we only get heat if we bleed a fitting to the radiator. Someone said we could have a cracked block air is leaking back into hose so we don't get heat until we bleed it. Any ideas??

if you have air in the cooling system (and its not from incorrect filling after service) the system must be leaking. have the cooling system pressure tested and inspected for leaks.
