It's because the thermostat is stuck open.
the heater of your car does not only work when the car is in motion. it only works when the engine is started. you don't have a heater in your car like you do your home. the heat that you feel when you turn on your heater in your car is produced by the engine. and there for if your car is not on then you will not receive any heat. some cars take longer than others to "heat up".
The heater is probably worked by the heat generated by the engine.
The fan control module in the engine compartment has gone bad.
Yes. The coolant carries the engine heat to the heater core. Without coolant the heater core does not get warm.
Yes. Heater no work if 02 works on tuesdays. but will contiune work on sunday. But only in an odd mounth.
I am going to assume that you are pondering why the heater only maintains heat while the engine is running. The answer is quite simple. The engine uses a combination of anti-freeze and water to help keep it cool. The water is circulated by a water pump. The hot water moves through the heater core, which is a small radiator. The blower draws air through the fins of the heater core and heat is pulled from it. The water pump is usually belt driven, and the engine must be on in order for the coolant to circulate.
I have a '99 Cirrus, where both the heater and A/C did not work - I ended up having to get the fan engine and rad changed out - $1500 I believe....
The first possibility is the thermostat didn't work. To find this out, after the engine is warmed up u check the hoses going from the engine to the heater, they should be hot. if they are hot then the next reason would be a cable to the temp on the heater needs to be adjusted or the heater core is plugged inside or out.
Heater is not working in a 2002 ford foucs only work when fan setting is place in?
Defective heater resistor pack.
Defective heater resistor pack.
Look at the engine temperature gauge. If it goes over 200 degrees, change the thermostat as it is stuck and therefore not allowing coolant to the heater core.
