Remove both hoses from engine that passes through firewall to heater. put a stiff piece of wire in the hole and make sure it is clear. If there is no restriction, then the heater is choked up

SOURCE: 2003 NISSAN SENTRA HEATER BLOWING AMBIENT AIR.

let the engine get cold, and remove the radiator cap, fill the system to proper level and re test. run engine until thermostat opens, fans come on, then alow to cool again and re check engine coolant. If this does not work, or the thermostat does not open the thermostat is instaled backwards, remove and reposition.

Start the car up when it is cold and rev the engine up for 30 seconds,loosen up the radiator cap and see if there is pressure there..If there is you probably have a bad head gasket...Caution do not open cap if engine is warm...

SOURCE: 2003 nissan sentra gx 1.8

either the heater core needs a good flush or their is a tap/valve just inside the car up under the dash normally drivers side ,and the cable has come off the lever or it could have a electric solonoid to open the valve ?' depends on where it was built and for what market as some vehicles do have small variations

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Nissan

you may have a problem with heater box. your air/mix door may have an issue. feel the knobs on the control unit. if the cold/heat know feels kinda funny from the other knobs, then thare is a problem with heater box/cables??

Have a 92 Nissan sentra and the heater only blows cold air

let the engine warm up to operating temperature. turn on the heat full blast. feel the two hoses going to the firewall to the heater core; if they are both hot, then your problem is in the heater box or heater controls. if one hose is significantly cooler than the other, then you have a clogged heater core and you can replace it or try and backflush it.

2003 nissan sentra no heat blows cold air. already changed th thermostat

Check the heater hose's going in through the fire wall ,are they hot ? Both hose's ! This is something you can do yourself ! If they are hot probably the temp actuator is bad or the door is stuck on the cold or heater core clogged ! Video's on youtube showing what to check. Learn to double check your mechanic !

Engine overheat and no heat

Maybe your radiator is clogged.

2003 nissan sentra gxe heater core

The problem is likely in your heater case doors, not the core itself. These doors are either vacuum operated or small motor operated.

Get the car warmed up, then feel both heater hoses. Both should be hot, meaning coolant is circulating. If only one is hot, the other cold, then you have a circulation problem.

I have an 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE i live in ND and the heater only blows luke warm air while at full operating temperature. I replaced the thermostat and flushed the heater core which seemed clean....

Sounds like it's the air control flap which determines the mix of heated and fresh air. This could be vacuum controlled or manually with a cable.

Heater blowing cold air

My 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s with 55,000 mi. blows cold air from the heater. Coolant not circulating in engine. Lower hose stays cool to touch. Both heater hoses cold. Changed thermostat - didn't fix it. Coolant not leaking or dirty. None in oil - no oil in radiator. Changed worn water pump belt - pump spins freely with no noise or resistance. Cooling fans come on after warm-up. Temperature gauge stays in normal range then jumps to hot and back again. Coolant good to 10 below - didn't freeze here yet. No other problems or repairs to car. Afraid to drive and make worse. Help!
