1. Hi Heather, Generally if there is no heat, there is no coolant in the radiator. Check if you can see coolant in the overflow tank. If none, add some. Then it's important to find out where the coolant has gone. Check hoses and connections for leaks at the radiator and elsewhere. Coolant hoses also run to the heater core and across the top of the engine to the thermostat and thermo-sensor.
