What happens when a coolant bypass valve fails?
When you turn of the ignition, the vaccuum tube is no longer active and the valve is turned on by default. If you open the top of a faulty Bypass Valve (which is easy to do) you will see that there is a rubber diaphragm with a pin in centre that is activated (lifted) by the vacuum. This opens up passage of hot coolant to the heater.
