Have u turned the heat on yet? My sister has a 98' Navigator & her heater core is dead. She lives in Georgia, so little if any severer weather. I have a 01 Navigator here in Northern Illinois. I have other issues, but not the heater core as of today. You will have to isolate the leak location for a good answer from us hacks in this forum. Only certain areas contain coolant. (engine block water jacket, radiator, heater core, & associated hoses and piping)

we have a 98 with a similar problem. Heat in the back but not the front. Our mechanic has told us it is probably the switch for the doors with the front heater. They way I understand it, there's a switch that tells the door to go from the cold air to the warm air and navigators have lots of problems with this particular switch. we are having our switch checked tomorrow, to find out if this is the problem. He checked the hoses and they are hot so that's what makes him believe that its the switch for the door. I or my husband are not that mechanically inclined, but this guy really explains lots of stuff to us and he has earned our trust. We let you know how everything works out. He is doing the work at our house, so it's probably going to take a couple of days, he's working in between his work on his regular job.

Yes, the heater core can be damaged and the coolant not leak inside the truck. I am sure you have already been told this by your mechanic, but I wanted to respond since you asked. In case you don't want to spend the {large loot} to repair the unit, which I fear is the remedy, you may be able to get a portable heating unit to warm the vehicle for the winter months. {J.C.

Don't take this the wrong way, but is it possible you're out of gas? Also, do any of the dash lights come on when you're trying to start your Navigator?

Your problem from what I read is low voltage. Check your battery and cable ends and make sure you have good voltage, if not you will only get a click. Most often it is the most simple thing that goes over looked.

thanx for respond.....when i had replace the starter i had replace the Negative cable as well. The positive cable seems fine and i had check the voltage again and i got a reading of 11.90V, do u think that's too low ???? what had happened the wife went out to start the truck in the morning and just got a click. I found the poles very corrosive, clean them up and nothing still, another mechanic said the starter, so i replace it, still nothing : ) . I would try to put a booster on and change the positive cable and see if possible. but thanks a lot for the help.
