Your car heater has a small "core" that the coolant runs through. If this core gets plugged up, the hot coolant won't flow through it. Also it is usually regulated by a damper (flap) that adjusts how much of the air flows through this little core. This damper control could be broke or bent.
The core is usually best left for a repair shop. Changing it is easy - the skill and issue is getting to it!
Fuses won't usually be an issue with lack of heat unless you have no airflow as the fan isn't running.

warmth the motor vehicle up & sense both hoses that feed the heater matrix. they ought to both be warmth. in the journey that they are both warmth that's likely that there's a administration cable problem (contained in the sprint) to the flap that switches between air straight away into the motor vehicle or with the help of the heater matrix. If purely one hose is warmth, that's maximum likely that the heater matrix is both blocked or has air trapped in it. It should not be the thermostat as this purely shuts off coolant bypass to the radiator till cooling is needed. The coolant circulates around the engine & heater matrix each and each and every of the time. If the 'stat is stuck close the engine will overheat. even if that's stuck open, the heater receives warmth yet not warm at the same time as driving (receives hotter if motor vehicle left table certain), also the temperature gauge will be below conventional. attempt bleeding the any air out of the equipment first - i got here upon the perfect way on the V6 changed into to warmth up the engine & quickly idle with the cap off of the header tank. If no exhilaration, disconnect the heater matrix hoses & decrease back-flush it with a hosepipe. If a load of muck comes out then you also needs to flush the engine too & re-fill with sparkling water & ideal anti-freeze. it truly is substantial because the incorrect kinds mixed mutually might want to be disastrous. Anti freeze also acts as a lubricant for the water pump, so ought to continually be used contained in the equipment. solid success!

I had the same exact problem a few months ago. Escorts seem to be famous for this. Oddly enough, our serpentine belt broke and we had to replace it. Once we did, (and replaced it entirely correctly) the heat and AC just started right up working. Check your serp belt... and ask an autoparts place about it. There's a certain way to put the belt on to make the heat/ac work. It's not the blower motor, that's what we though alllll along, but it's not that.

i own a repair shop,and check the coolant level in it,,if it gets low,,it will cause it not to blow any heat from it,,also feel of the heater hoses ,and see if there getting hot enough to produce heat,,if all this checks good ,it may need to be flushed out real good ,to allow the hot water to go through the heater core,also check the thermostat ,and make sure its working good,,they will cause a lot of problems in cold weather,,good luck ,i hope this help,s.
