There are two hoses going to the heater radiator, hot coolant circulates through it , one of the hoses has a valve or tap to close or open the hot coolant to the heater radiator, make sure this valve or tap is not frozen shut.

Don't know this van specifically, but some things to check, make sure cabin filter is replaced or clean, you didn't say if the blower itself works, if not, correct or replace. Check the hoses going to the heater core, if hot water is flowing thru the core, both hoses should be hot. Check the heater controls to make sure doors in the system are opening closing as they should, you may just be drawing in cold air and not going thru the heater core.

2005 chevy equinox blows cold air even after driving setting on heat what are my options of checking first

First check the anti-freeze level, a low cooling system is the most common cause of no heat, next check for a kinked heater hose after that the water pump or heater core are suspect. I hope this helps. Take care.

Why when I turn on the heat it gets cold after a few minutes

Air in cooling system? Blockage? Thermostat failing? Collapsed hoses. there are many reasons why this problem exists. Hot coolant passes through your heater core which is generally located on the firewall of the car. If hot coolant does not circulate into the heater core, it will not pick up the heat and your car heating system will blow cool air. Coolant circulation is most likely the underlying issue. Your water pump may also be failing.

No heat new water pump new thrmostat new radaitor blend door fine

Don't think the cooling system has been properly bled. Any air in the system will collect in the highest point the heater core resulting in no heat. Raise the radiator filler neck higher than the heater core and run engine while filling with proper coolant. don't run to long with radiator open as coolant will expand and overflow.

No heat , replaced radiator , water pump, rad. cap , hoses and flushed system twice.blows cool air.whats left?

Thermostat.? if you haven't? Do it first then try it. While the car is running for a while touch the heater hoses that lead to the firewall. if one is cold and one is hot? You have a blocked Heater core. Follow the hoses back to the engine. Unconnect them both. By using a garden hose flush out the heater core do one side and then reverse by doing the other hose Lots of junk will come out so be care ful. Mistake people make is "Flushing the system" That doesn't mean your flushing the heater core.
Seeing that you have done everything else it could be the thermostat which you didn't list or the heater core being clogged. When you finished installing the thermostat and flushing the heater core out. Replenish the coolant system . If you have a bleeder on the thermostat housing? use it . loosen it and top off the fluid until you see fluid comeout of the bleeder. The system being air bound would cause no heat..

2005 GMC Sierra 1500 - heater blows, but only cold air

Check coolant level. Check for heat at the heater hose going from water pump to heater core at firewall. Check to see that cable is moving coolant control valve from the closed to open position. Low mileage so it shouldn't be plugged heater core.

Heat

The heater in your car depends upon a flow of hot coolant going through the heater core in order to get hot air into the car. If the heater core is partially plugged, it will restrict the flow. If you have a head gasket that is putting exhaust into the cooling system, it will eventually get into the heater core. When this happens there is no coolant in the heater core to make the air warm. If the water pump vanes have corroded away the result will be very poor coolant circulation causing the heater to not blow hot air. If your car is equipped with a heater control valve that is not functioning properly, the coolant flow will be restricted. One or a combination of these factors is likely the culprit in your case.

if the car is not overheating, the thermostat is working fine.... replace or flush the heater core multiple times to try and eliminate sediment build-up.
