It's getting cold outside, my heater doesn't work

Hi,

I have a base 2005 at
I'm wondering what's wrong with my hot air, fan is still working but no hot air is coming out, even at HI, it's still a normal cold...My ac does work properly. Engine cold or hot, still no hot air...I don't miss coolant liquid. No check engine. Any answer to that?

Thank you

Check to see if the heater control valve cable is attached, or bad heater control valve.

The water valve is near the passenger side firewall, under the hood. The water valve will of course need to be open for coolant to flow into the heater core inside the cabin, which is what the fan blows air past to heat the cabin. If no coolant flows into the heater core, you're not going to get heat. The valve is likely stuck closed or otherwise damaged, otherwise you have a clogged heater core or seriously low coolant.

It's easy enough to find, it has smaller coolant lines running to it, and sits on the firewall.

I change my suspension and play with the oem strut bar, are they close? Might be the cause?

Thanx

Sorry but I have to say. It's getting cold out? Where do you live? It's still high 80F around here

Look at where the heater valve is. Give it a visual inspection and then have someone turn it from cold to hot and back to cold. Watch to see if the cable/valve moves.

Okay, I just find what it is, heater control valve (open close section is broken), cable does work when I'm turning on the temp, but they are not attached...

Thank you
