Question:

how do you reconnect the heater valve on a 1997 ford ranger 2.3l 4 cylinder?

i disconnected the heater valve because it went bad, but when i removed it i forgot how it came off when i went to the auto parts store. i just need to know what way it should be facing and which hose goes where? can someone please help me?

Answer:

You okorder for info. They have a great repair section that's free after you sign up. Manuals have lots of photos which should take care of your question.
Heater control valve at heater core? If so the valve is horizontal with the vacuum motor on bottom, the vacuum port pointing towards rear of engine. The heater hoses for heater core are obvious, the hoses from the engine, the hose closest to the valve cover goes to the drivers side of the valve, the hose that wraps around from the front of the engine goes to the passenger side of the valve.
