HELP PLEASE. Heater not working

[Braver]

The heater is not working and I drive from Mississauga to Cambridge for work 6 times a week and back.
Really need it to defrost the windshield as well.
So the manual says theres a reset button with the 30 Amp fuse for the heater which i pressed, but still no good.
Don't really know how to replace the weird 30 amp fuse as its in a black box and theres no way of opening it.
Anyone have this problem? Please help.
Thanks in advance

Any other symptoms? Usually complete loss of heat comes with loss of power steering. Does the blower work on ANY setting?

[Braver]

The blower does not work at all, it does not turn on at any setting, i still have power steering, also i found a post saying that the connection for the blower is wired with the rear wipers, but my rear wipers are still working.

great... its -12 tomorrow in mississauga and supposed to feel like -22.

Usually, if the blower motor resistor has taken a hike, the 4th setting still works. You might be looking at a fuse, but usually something else would go with it. You might be looking at a broken/burnt wire, or a dead motor, or still the resistor. Its hard to tell over the internet.

There will be a troubleshooting section in the manual.

When your heat is no longer working, one simple thing to check is if you're out of antifreeze. A friend of mine, who was driving for several hours, his heat stopped working, but he kept driving. Turns out the car ran out of antifreeze and it ended up completely blowing the engine out. Had to get a new one put in.

lol no offense but... wouldn't you notice the engine temps spiking?

[Sisko182]

Well, of course. But how many people want to stop on the highway in the winter at night?

[Ryan]

You're dumb. His blower motor doesn't work, that has exactly nothing to do with the coolant level.

[Sisko182]

I wouldn't call suggesting other potential problems DUMB. I'm just being helpful - you don't have to be a d--- about it.

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to be a mean comment, its just a colloquialism, I don't actually think you're unintelligent.

But the idea still stands, the blower motor doesn't even care if there's a motor in the engine bay.
