Thermostat: The thermostat controls the temperature of the coolant in the engine. If the thermostat is stuck open, the coolant will not circulate properly and the heater core will not be able to get hot.
Heater core: The heater core is a small radiator located under the dashboard. It circulates hot coolant from the engine to the passenger compartment. If the heater core is clogged or damaged, it will not be able to produce heat.
Blend door: The blend door is a flap that controls the mix of hot and cold air that flows into the passenger compartment. If the blend door is not opening properly, it will prevent hot air from flowing into the passenger compartment.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:
Check the coolant level in the radiator. If the coolant level is low, fill it up to the full mark.
Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature. Then, feel the heater hoses that go to and from the heater core. Both hoses should be hot to the touch. If one hose is cold, it indicates that the heater core is clogged or damaged.
If both heater hoses are hot, the problem is likely with the blend door. To check the blend door, you will need to remove the dashboard. Once the dashboard is removed, you will be able to see the blend door. Move the blend door by hand to make sure that it is opening and closing properly.
If you find any problems with the coolant level, thermostat, heater core, or blend door, you will need to replace the damaged components. Once you have replaced the damaged components, the heater should start blowing hot air again.
If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the issue yourself, I would recommend taking the vehicle to a qualified mechanic.
