Default Thoughts?

Well it's getting colder here, I no I'm in N.TX so how cold can it get right?!? Anyways, it was in the 30s this morning not to bad, pulled out of the garage, and started driving. Got a little chill so turned on my heat on defrost. Waited...waited.... Where the hell is the hot air?? Switched it from defrost to vent thinking maybe it's something to do with the defrost. Ice cold air out of the vents.. I've tried it with the **** on every heat position, I get no heat at all. Checked my coolant level about 3 days ago bc I knew it was getting colder the level was/is perfect. I'm thinking thermostat? Any other ideas? Of course warranty is up I have 63,xxx on the odometer.

I'd put my money on the fact you hadn't driven far enough to heat the coolant enough...

I would check the temperature gauge on the dash first. If it reads normal, then you probably have a HVAC delivery problem. If it reads cold, you probably have a Thermostat problem. Once you determine which is the case, you'll have a new set of questions.

I'll watch it today when I go home. It's usually a little to the left of the middle not by much tho.

Supposed to get to 19 for me on Monday morning. First vehicle I've owned in a long time that doesn't have a home in the garage. Gonna feel bad cranking her over in that.

Um. Turn the temp dial from your cold AC over to the RED side for the heat.

Well good news. Found out I have 100k warranty not the 60 like I thought. Looks like it's the dealerships problem as soon as I can get it in.

You're lucky. Sounds like an issue the dealership would milk a couple hundred bucks out of fixing.
