No Heat in my car

I live in Minnesota and it is currently 9 degrees below. My car's heat is gone. It doesn't even get warm in my car anymore. What is the cause of this and how do I get my heat back?

Thermostat is stuck, or your heater core is blocked. Either that or your heater controls are broken and it is stuck on "cold"

To test if your heater core is blocked, run the car until it gets warm and turn the heat on. Feel the hoses going through the firewall to the heater. one of them should be hot. If the other one is ice cold, the heater core is blocked.

coolant flush and thermostat.....maybe you have air in your system.....i dunno about heater core blockage as i havent read anyone from the forum having that problem....

We have it all the time at work.....sometimes a stat and gasket does nothing but flushing the heater core does. Stop-leak does a number on heater cores. Try the thermostat first though. B13s have serious issues with the mechanics of the heater controls though...like snapping levers and cables

I realized the only solution is to move to a warmer climate.... and the sad thing is I'm serious

Yeah I agree with that

while my floor vents blow heat, my main vents blow ice cold air
fan speed 4 works sometimes

I am going to take the whole think apart this summer and see if i can fix something

on at least the b13's there is the fresh air to your face type lever up near the top of the dash... the mechanism of that lever got stuck somehow and it only moved 1/2 the distance it used to.. i hardly noticed, but somehow knew that lever felt weird.. when i had my anti theft device installed, the guy was cool so i asked him to check out the movement of the lever.. he fixed it with a screwdriver as it was somehow catching.. my heat is like 3 times as strong as it was.. you wouldn't guess it could have made so much of a difference..

that fan speed deal should be a relay problem. i have the same one and was told to replace the fan relay.
