Best Answer

The water pump on the engine circulates coolant though the engine, radiator and heater core (which is usually located under passenger side of dash). The heater core looks like a small radiator and once the engines coolant starts warming up thr heat can be spread by the blower motor mounted to the side of the heater core. Voila! Hot air blowing out of whatever vent you choose.
