Heat your Honda's Cabin Up

Anthony Fontanelle
March 14, 2008

The autumn and winter seasons often bring cooler air to the environment. While those at home can easily warm up by wearing thick clothes or settling in front of a fireplace, motorists cannot enjoy the same comforts. Fortunately for Honda owners, all Honda vehicles are equipped with heating systems to ward off seasonal chills. A Honda’s heating system is composed of heater cores and the Honda Heater Knobs that control the flow of heated air into the cabin.

A car’s heater works hand in hand with the cooling system. Your Honda’s heater is basically a small radiator inside the dashboard. Hot coolant circulates through the heater core. Honda Heater Knobs are controlling devices for the hot air circulating in the heater. The Honda Heater Knob is a dial attached to the dashboard through a metal stem. Once the Honda Heater Knob is turned, a diverter door opens and a small fan blows the air from the hot heater core and into the cabin. Honda Heater Knobs also control the speed of the fan, regulating the amount of heat moving into your Honda’s interior. Through these auto parts, Honda owners are assured of driving comfort and convenience, even in the coldest conditions.

Just like any car part, both the heater core and Honda Heater Knobs are prone to deterioration after a long period of use. The heater core’s common problem is leakage, which can easily be detected by a sweet odor in your Honda’s cabin or a leak in the passenger floorboard under the carpet. Meanwhile, Honda Heater Knobs can get pulled from their metal stem. This prevents Honda owners from controlling their heater systems. In such cases, a new set of Honda Heater Knobs can be installed. Choices for your replacement Honda Heater Knob run aplenty in our site. Since all our Honda parts come with quality and durability, you can be sure that our Honda Heater Knobs will be worth your money.
