The thermostat may need to be replaced. If its stuck open, you wont get much heat. Another option is to change the thermostat to a higher degree 190 or something like that.....

What makes heater suddenly stop working but ac works fine

I am having an issue with my car !
My drain pipe for the AC is blocked again .
How do I konw because the carpet is wet near the centre hub of car under the dash.
My AC works but I noticed the heater not working due to the water sitting on top of the heater. I also noticed the demister was blowing cold and water vapour. So my demister on the front window was fogging up the windscreen .
Get a mechanic to check the AC drain pipe !

2015 carens, its either front windscreen demisting OR car heating, but I need both. How to fix?

If you set the temperature to a high temperature when demisting, it should still provide heated air, just not through the dash vents aimed at you. Is that not sufficient? Does your car has seat heaters?

Steam coming from vents

Sounds like a faulty heater core. Does it smell like rotten apples or anything like that? If so its coolant

2006 x type saloon demist function does not work floor and other outlets o.k

the demist function should be for the windscreen. the a/c should kick on and put out heat at the dash vents. the combination between the a/c and the heat allows the system to evaporate any moisture in the air allowing it to warm you and evaporate any moisture on the windscreen, and anywhere else they may have it duct to so that vision is not impaired. enjoy!

2001 ford focus defroster blows out ac vents

may be just a cable adjustment.


SECTION 412-01: Air Distribution and Filtering 2001 Focus Workshop Manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Air Distribution and Filtering The new heating and ventilation system ensures even air distribution.
The temperature control and air distribution flaps are controlled by two operating cables. All vehicles have a recirculated air function, with the flap controlled by a servo motor.
Air is supplied to the windscreen and side windows regardless of the air distribution setting.
The clean air filter is fitted as standard in most countries. This cleans the incoming fresh air of pollen and dirt particles. It must be renewed after every 40,000 km under normal operation conditions, or after 20,000 km under difficult conditions. If no clean air filter is installed, a plastic grille is fitted over the air intake. This can easily be replaced with a clean air filter.
Air distribution operating switch
Face level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment at face level.
Face level/floor level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment in equal parts at face level and floor level, and a small amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Floor level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment at floor level, and a smaller amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Demist/floor level The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment in equal parts at the windscreen and at floor level, and a smaller amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Demist The main flow of air enters the passenger compartment at the windscreen and a smaller amount flows to the demister nozzles of the side windows.
Air distribution operating switch Air distribution operating cables
NOTE: The Bowden cables for LHD and RHD vehicles are identical. However, they are fastened to the air flap operating mechanism with the respective reverse side of their connectors.
The air distribution switch operates with two Bowden cables. The cables operate the air distribution valves in the heater housing.
To remove and install the cables, the rotary switch must be turned as far as it will go to the left. The air flap mechanism engages easily in this position, making the installation of the cables easier.

Windscreen demister

Have you taken the dash apart and checked the cable on the switch? Or tested the switch if it's electronic?
