1999 dodge caravan heater blows cold air?

First thing to check is open hood and feel heater hoses going into heater core located on r/s of vehilcle if sitting in driver seat.If they are both very hot and feel the same temp,blend door in heater box is not operating correctly.If one heater hose is hot and the other is cooler than chances are the heater core is plugged.In either case a professional would be your best bet for repair.Hope info was helpful.

hi,most likely you have low coolant level in radiator,at idle you have an air space in heater core,causing poor heat,when you move and engine speed increases, water fills heater core,you get heat,.another possible cause is a clogged heater core,but check fluids first.


How can you tell if your heater core is not working for a Chevy Malibu 2000 It blows cold air instead of hot air when on hot but every now and then it works then stops Why?

Make sure coolant level is correct It could be a clogged heater core,maybe it is a birds nest or a rats nest if the car was stored.Usually replace the heater core and it will solve it or maybe it is the radiator itself needing flushed.also it could be the switch is not throwing to the position it should be.If the car was in cold climate before maybe it froze over and then was dooshed with heater core repair stop leak.Thats the best I can guess...
