SINCE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION I WILL HAVE TO JUST GIVE IT MY BEST ANSWER. PERHAPS THE BLOWER MOTER IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IS NOT ON. BUT IF IT DOES BLOW AIR MAKE SURE YOU FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE CORRECTLY BY TAKING OFF IT'S HOSES AND FORCING THE WATER THROUGH IT IN REVERSE OF IT'S NORMAL FLOW DIRECTION USING A WATER HOSE. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK YOU MAY ALSO HAVE A BAD DEFLECTOR MOTOR OR VACUUM DIAPHRAM IN THE DASH THAT IS NOT ALLOWING THE HOT AIR TO BE CONTROLLED INTO THE CORRECT PATHWAY TO MIX WITH THE COLD AIR. THESE DEFLECTOR DOORS OR FLAPS ARE POSITIONED EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY TO CONTROL THE COMFORT ZONE IN AUTOMOBILES WHICH CAN PREVENT THE MIXING OF HOT AND COLD AIR APPROPRIATELY WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CONSTANT AIR TEMPERATURE OF COLD ,HOT, OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. THESE DEFLECTORS ALSO CONTROL WHERE THE AIR IS TRANSFERRED INTO THE CAB WHETHER UP TO THE WINDSHIELD FOR DEFROSTING OR DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD TO WARM YOUR FEET.FOR THIS REASON THERE ARE USUALLY MORE THAN ONE CONTROLLING MODULE MANUAL OR ELECTRIC.

You need to check your blend door motor. Also, did you make sure to bleed all the air out of your system?

09 Outlander overheating. Replaced water pump, thermostat, drive belt, flushed heater core, and no visible leaks

Re-flush the system again, I know but it's best you do. Buy a lower degree thermostat and see how it does.

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.

Hello I have a 96 chevy tahoe I replaced the heater core the thermostat & flushed the system I had heat when I finished but the next morning it was only blowing cold air could this be the water pump?

Chuck, having done this last year on my 99' Tahoe I will tell you to check to be sure you have filled the system and purged all the air out of it. Be sure to open the heater wide open (all the way into the red area) to make sure the heater valve is letting water into the heater core..You can park the truck with the nose higher than the rear and that will help purge the system of air also. Sometimes it take a while to get the system completely full of coolant.

2001 VW Beetle heater not heating.

If both your heater hoses are hot, the heater core is circulating fluid. If only one is hot, and one is cool-then the core is plugged or has an air block, or a valve in the heater line is closed if that applies.
If the engine stays at normal operating temperature, doesn't overheat at all, there should not be a problem with the water pump.

The problem may be with the doors in the heater case not operating properly.

I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 with very little heat. The lines get hot going to the heater core, but I do not get enough heat out to keep the cab warm. I contacted heatertreater, but my hot cold control...

I have the same truck, I have flushed the radiator both ways, flushed the heater core both ways flushed the engine four times, I have owned this truck for eight years and still cannot get it to heat up the cab. It will keep the windshield defrosted but that is all. If you find any tricks to fix this let me know PLEASE

Heat 2001 dodge durango

a bad heater core will just leak. it could leak alot. do you ever smell antifreeze? check the coolant level. it can get pretty low before it will overheat. the thermostat should be ok but there could be corrosion. when you had the water pump replaced was the cooling system flushed? 2001, its probably due for a flush. what coolant does it take? (green or orange)
