First check your system to see if there is a blockage in the heater core. It would be a good idea to flush your system. If there is no blockage thermostats come in different heat ranges. Replace it with a higher temp one. If your coolant is low this will give you a low heat on your heater also. Not sure if your car has one but most newer vehicles have bleeders on the coolant that release the air out of the system. I know for a Fact that if you have air in the coolant it will give you trouble from over heating the engine to the heater itself not working. Good luck

Radiator fluid gets contaimented like everything else so you will have dirty fluid creating clots in your core lines like a drain pipe in your sink. If you change your thermostat then you should change all the fluid out too or you will have the same problem. Also after you change the thermostat and add fluid you need to open the heater on full in your car and get out the air in the system by circulating the system at idle with radiator cap off and the fluid constantly kept full.

Are you running pure antifreeze? If so, cut it to a 50/50 mix. Is your cooling fan running constantly? If so it's cooling the engine too much and needs the sensor replaced. When the engine is warmed up are both the heater hoses the same temp.? If one is hotter than the other then you have a blockage in the heater core. Is your radiator resevoir cap holding pressure? If not it needs to be replaced. Good luck

examine the coolent point first. If its ok then the cooling followers won't be working. under the hood is a fuse field, examine all fuses to work out in the event that they are blown. in the event that they are ok them i choose for to propose finding a good mechniac to look into this. A engine can take lots overheating before harm will ensue. you would be money forward to locate somebody to restoration the little factor before the super factor happens.

It might be that the heater core is blocked. That would keep hot coolant from circulating past the fans that pick-up the heat and blow it into the passenger compartment.

Obvious things first and no offense to you, o.k.?
Do you have enough coolant?
Next , the heat exchange could be blocked.
If your engine temp has been high you may need to check the water pump. other than that you will just have to check for blockages.

If the water was rusty, the water pump blades are worn out. so replace water pump, if not the blend door motor for the heater is stuck in one position

if its not the thermostat, check the heater core. that usually is the problem. if not check all your hoses and make sure there is nothing blocked.
