What is wrong with my heater?
Q-I have a 03 Chevy pickup. When I went to start the heat yesterday, there was air coming through the vents but no heat. This is after it had been “warming up for a while”…Yet when I drive it down the road it puts out heat (stop for a few minutes it gets cool again). What is my problem?
A-We would need to check the level of coolant and temperature of the coolant first. We would also need to check the water pump to make sure the water flow is proper. All of these items could cause you to have heat while driving and no heat while at an idle.
Another reason could be the blendors not working properly. The force of air while driving may be causing the door to switch over so heat can flow through. When at an idle it would switch back over without the pressure of the air flow.
The best thing to do is have it checked out by a technician and diagnosed. The technician should be able to tell you the exact cause of the problem and get your system in good working order.
