If the hoses have a different feel to them,one hot and one cold or warm, it is a circulation problem and the coolant is not moving through the heater core fast enough to keep the air hot out of the vents. This usually ends up being a clogged heater core.

The more recent smart charge systems have an extra clump of wires connecting it to an ECU which controls the battery light and stops the unit charging during acceleration to improve economy.
