If you're using a gas water heater, the first thing you should check is the pilot light. If you're using an electric heater, check the heating elements to make sure they're intact and working correctly.

Check to see if water is leaking around the base of the heater, and check for low rumbling noises or high-pitched squealing. Also, if your water is rust-colored or smells like rotten eggs, it is a water heater problem.

How do you change the heater core for your 2000 Pontiac firebird?

make sure your radiator is clean and no problems first, otherwise you will be throwing away $250 for the new heater core. Pontiacs are notorious "GM's" for having a plastic intake manifold gasket that leaks, which then mixes oil with the radiator fluid and produces this nifty orange rusty looking sludge, which then proceeds to clog your heater core -- so make sure the rest of your system works before trying to replace your heater core. www.autozone.com has free online car manuals that will help with the replacement location, hoses etc of the heater core

How can you fix the heater on your 2002 Saturn?

First check the coolant level, a coolant leak would cause a heater to stop working- assuming you mean the blower is blowing but it isn't hot. A stuck thermostat will also cause you problems with your heat.

How do you troubleshoot heater problems on 1991gmc sierra?

The first thing to do is check the radiator, not the overflow tank, to be sure it is full. Next, with the engine warmed up, feel both heater hoses. They should be the same temperature. If not then the heater core is stopped up and will require back flushing. If they are the same temperature then you will most likely have a blend door problem.
