If you have a low coolant light, this would be a bad sensor, either at the radiator, or the coolant reservoir. need to replace it. as for the heater, well there are a couple of things to check. first,start the car, and let it warm up. now the engine is at running temperature, now turn on the heater(trust me), and let it run for about 2 minute. feel the 2 lines going to the heater core( they are on the passenger side going to the firewall) is the one coming from the engine getting warm, or hot. If not, there is a valve that allows hot coolant to the heater core. change this valve(they do go bad, or just get stuck), this is an easy fix. If the line is getting warm or hot, the problem will be the heater core, and will need to be replaced. hope this helps and please rate this, helpful to you or not

2001 VW Beetle 2.0 heater won t heat up

If you flushed the coolant with the thermostat in, chances are you didn't flush the coolant. Regardless, it's easiest to check the controls inside first. Does the blower fan work? Does the air flow change from floor to vent, to dash as it's supposed to? Does the A/C change temps when knob is turned from cold to hot? Post results.

99 ford contour gauge shows running hot. Change both sensors near thermostat and the thermostat. Flushed system and burped it. Ac or heat makes no difference. Fans seems to be working. Any ideas?

Is it ACTUALLY overheating? Check for heat at the top and bottom radiator hoses, and at both heater core hoses. If one is cold then your radiator or your heater core may be plugged and in need of a individual flush.

Temp gauge over heating no heat through vents cold air upper hose very hot lower hose cold changed thermostat flushed radiator no changes

You will need to bleed the air out of the system there should be a bleeder where the top hose connects to the engine

I have a 2000 chryler concorde with no heat. I changed the thermostat.I 've checked the coolant. The blower is working but only cold air. Any solutions

if you have changed the thermostat. did you bleed air out of system, if air is trapped in system it will not heat right! drain radiator and flush it good, but when refilling turn heater on high heat. then bleed air out when refilling system. most all cars have a bleeder for air. if in doubt, call any auto parts store to find out where yours is. if air is in system you will see bubbles appear from bleeder. also when flushing engine, make sure you start vehicle so it circulates through engine as well as refilling system. if the upper radiator hose gets hot then check for heat from car if it is ok! close bleeder and make sure radiator is full. I think the biggest culprit is air trapped in system. before starting the flush, be sure its not caused by low coolant in radiator. have a good day!!

2002 dodge 1500 Changed radiator, thermostat, and hoses. No heat

Why was radiator replaced?Did it have heat before ? If it was plugged, the heater core may also be plugged. Try flushing it with a water hose in both directions. I dont know why the botton radiator hose would be cold, the radiator should be a uniform temp and the air coming through the radiator should be HOT, when the engine is at operating temp. What condition was the old coolant? if it was rusty, the water pump may have lower flow than normal.

No heat

Follow the top radiator hose to the motor remove the 2 bolts on the housing and the thermstat is right there. If you still have problems dis connect the 2 small heater hoses at the fire wall and flush with a garden hose your heater core might be plugged

Car heat

Park your unit on a slight incline, start cold w/ radiator cap removed and interior heat on full bore. This will burp or release your air from your cooling system. Add 50/50 until radiator is full. When you replace any good amount of coolant in post 90's vehicles it must fill in that position. You also may have pushed some gunk around, flushing, clogging a water jacket or heater core. Hopefully helpful!!!!
