- This is a tutorial on how to replace your heater control valve on a 2003-2007 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder. My heater control wasn’t working so I went under the hood and manually turned the valve which indicated a bad heater control valve. I pulled one from the junk yard and replaced it.

The BEST camera work I've seen in showing the exact parts needed to work on with good lighting!
Enjoyed it!
Hey thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it! Happy to hear my video helped, I’ve seen other videos that failed to show the angles so I decided to make a video showing every angle possible! Hope you subscribe!
Just did this job on my 2006 Honda Accord v6 I appreciate you sharing. The clamps were definitely very difficult to work with.
Hey thanks for watching! Happy to hear my video helped and the job went well. And yea those clamps can be uncooperative at times. Hope you subscribe!
This tutorial was extremely helpful and saved myself ~ $300 of having a mechanic or dealership doing it for me One odd thing that might be of use is that after replacing the heater control valvce (I used Genuine Honda part #79710-SDA-A01), I had to manually adjust the valve to the hot position, then back to the cold position. After doing that, I cranked the heat up and then I was able to get hot air again.
It does seem like the blue cable doesn't have enough slack, because after letting the car sit and cool down for about 15 mins, I had to manually adjust the valve again back and forth until I saw it was moving by itself when adjust the temperature in-car. Not sure if there's a "break-in" period for the part or if the middle screw needs to be loosened slightly to allow more freerer movement, but I thought this was interesting enough to note. I don't anticipate doing this again anytime soon, and I'm impressed the original part lasted about 236K before failing
Hey thanks for watching! Mine was good to go and didn’t need a break in period because I got it from the junk yard and it’s still going strong. You may have gotten a faulty one. Keep an eye on it and if your problem persists just exchange it for another. Happy to hear my video helped! Hope you subscribe!

Dang son, 1 handed and everything! 🤣 Definitely recommend spending $10-20 at Harbor Freight for the sideways plyers and some hose plyers. Great video tho, hadn't thought of clamping the hoses so no need to wait for the next coolant change!
Hey thanks for watching! Yea it was a little challenging one handed but I got the job done 😁 definitely recommend the sideways pliers and hose clamps they definitely make a difference. Hope you subscribe!

My new dual fans only work when AC is on, any suggestions? Maybe new relays?
Yea I’d say check your thermostat first and if that checks out then move onto relays and wiring in between relays.
Good day, there like this weird thing going on the heat doesnt work on the driver side but the passenger side is sorth of it aint like hot as it should be on max, but ac blows cold on both sides definitely a little colder on the passenger side should i try replacing this heater valve
Hey thanks for watching. My heat did not work either but the A/C blew cold. Once I changed the heater control valve my heat worked. Possibly could be your issue as well.
@@ucanfixit1 thanks for quick reply brotha I'll replace that and hope it ain't heater core
Thank you Sir
Hey thanks for watching. Happy to hear my video helped you out. Hope you sub to the channel!
@@ucanfixit1 sure
Do you top off the coolant in the coolant reservoir or the radiator itself ?
Hey thanks for watching! I top off the radiator first then I check the reservoir and if it’s low I top it off as well. Hope this helps. Don’t forget to subscribe!

Bracket off before hoses would make life easier
I thought the same ima try that
I did everything exactly how you did but once I got on the road it’s still overheating
Hey thanks for watching! Sounds like it could be your thermostat. Hope this helps. Don’t forget to subscribe.
WHY DID U REPLACE WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR DOING SO THANKS
Hey thanks for watching. I replaced it because I had no heat during the winter only A/C worked but no heat. Hope this helps and hope you sub to the channel.
@ucanfixit1 ur welcome and ok I'm having thee same issue cold ac no heat but changed the water pump to stat flushed the heater core replaced the blend door actuator blower motor and resistor the temps on the inlet and outlet hose from thee core is in range just blowing cool and luke warm at times not as hot as it used to be I think it may be a door I'm almost stomped thanks
@@mrme9517 oh wow you’ve done a lot so far. Have you tried this heater control valve yet?
I just did this repair and when I turn the heater on it blows cold. And when I put defrost on then the car dies. PLEASE help with any ideas why it's doing this!!!!!
Hey thanks for watching! Has the A/C ever worked correctly? Did it just start doing this?
Yes it worked perfectly.. I had a blow out the other day and after i put on the spare I drove off and put on the defrost and the car started to over heat. That's when I realized the heater control valve was leaking.
@@erincarrasco5991 you may have a faulty control valve other wise check your battery and alternator because the vehicle works harder when the ac turns on and when your battery or alternator is bad it will stall.
I want to know if you need to have that valve cable lever turned in a particular setting before attaching the cable. ?
Hey thanks for watching! You don’t have to have it anyway because the lever on the heater control valve can be turned whatever way you need by hand. Hope this helps. Don’t forget to subscribe!
@@ucanfixit1 ok. I understand. I'm doing this tomorrow after i get my part. Everything else is ready to take off. Clamps are little demons sometimes
@@nsxt290 yes the clamps gave me a fight but just position yourself in the right way with the right tools and you’ll do good! Good luck!
@@ucanfixit1 i tried it & yes the lever moves in a open/ close position. Still have no heat..it seems no coolant is flowing to the heater core inlet hose bc the hose is not hot. Maybe a jam in that hose or towards the nipple in the engine block. Why is honda giving me a hard time, i baby this k24
@@nsxt290 Hey sorry to hear you still have no heat but a few possible issues could be a bad thermostat or a failed heater blower resistor. Hope this helps.
Is this a 2 door valve????
Hey thanks for watching! Not sure what your asking but I have a 4 door vehicle. I just went to my local junkyard and pulled the part from a similar vehicle.
Save my life do you wanna pay 500 to a mechanic only took me 30 minutes?
