Troubleshooting

Heater is not producing heat.

Check coolant level, thermostat operation, and for any blockages in the heater core or hoses. Also, ensure the blower motor is functioning.

Coolant leaks.

Inspect all connections for leaks. Tighten hose clamps or replace damaged hoses. If the core itself is leaking, the heater matrix may need to be replaced.
