Remove thermostat, see if that works, if not heater core is gone.

Most time if the heater core is gone you might have leaking of coolant on the floor of the passenger seat.

Check the heater control valve, and linkage, if the coolant level stays up and the engine does not overheat, that is most likely the cause. The heater control valve should open and close easily, and all linkage should function smoothly. Also possible but rare (unless Bars Leak or some other sealant has been added to the coolant to stop a radiator leak) is a blocked or plugged heater core. It would be a good idea to also check the two hoses that connect to the heater core inside the engine compartment, to make sure they have not been bypassed due to a leaking core. A good investment would be either a Chilton's or Haynes service manual for your automobile. Around $20.00 at the auto parts store. Good luck with the heater.

Probably the number one most dreaded task that people fear on these cars is the eventual need to replace the heater core. You can almost bet that on one of the coldest days of the year, your core will die and leave you without heat. Well, I'm here to dispel some rumors---this isn't that bad of a job at all. If you've got an enclosed area in which to work, some basic tools, and a few hours, you can do this yourself very easily. The advantage is that you'll be saving hundreds of dollars doing this yourself vs. having a shop do it for you. An average heater core change is $300-500 at a shop. Now if I told you that it can be done yourself for about $60 US and a few hours of your time, wouldn't you rather do that and save the money

heater core is likely stopped up or perhaps bypassed by a previous owner.locate the heater hoses ,they should be two small hoses running into the firewall usually on the passenger side .at normal operating temp.check to see if both hoses are hot ,if so then the blend door is stuck in the cool position,if one is hot and the other cool,that means the heater core(essentially a small radiator) is clogged and may be cleaned out by back-flushing,to do this disconnect the hoses at the engine and run a garden hose into one side and then the other until the water flows freely and clear.if this doesn't help or isn't enough info just e-mail and i'll try to get you squared away.

It sounds like the blower motor resistor is bad and that is why the blower motor only works on high. The passenger side door lock actuator is making the noise in the door and it sounds like it's bad too. Probably need to visit the mechanic for the noise. It could be anything. Maybe motor mounts. The driver's window switch, regulator, or motor could be bad. Try holding the button and hitting the door panel. If the window starts to work then the motor is bad. If not the have the mechanic peek at this also.

Blocked heater core or bad temperature control valve. The temp control valve is either electric or vacuum operated and may be stuck or not operating properly.

there is a valve in the heater hose. the cable came off of it. follow the heater hose and you'll find it. you can turn it by hand if the cable is broken.

Try to check coolant level. If its climat control, you need to go to a electrician.
