What else can I help you with?
Would lack of coolant or antifreeze screw with the heat or air conditioning?
it can mess with both
Can the loss of antifreeze cause you to lose your heat?
Yes, low coolant can cause a loss of heat in the cabin.
Can no antifreeze cause no heat in a vehicle?
Yes, if your vehicle is low on antifreeze, there may not be enough to fill the heater core, and you wont get any heat. When the heat stops working in your car, antifreeze/coolant should be the first thing you check.
Why would your heat blow out cold and antifreeze be low?
If your heat is blowing out cold air and the antifreeze level is low, it could indicate a coolant leak or an issue with the heating system. Low antifreeze can lead to inadequate heating because the engine may not be able to produce enough heat to warm the cabin. Additionally, low coolant levels can cause air to enter the heating system, disrupting proper heat circulation. It's important to check for leaks and refill the coolant to ensure proper heating functionality.
Why no heat and always out of antifreeze in my 1997 explorer?
If your coolant level is down ( because of a leak somewhere ) there won't be any flow of coolant through your heater core if the coolant level drops too low and you won't get any heat Find where the coolant leak is , repair it , and refill the coolant system with 50/50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( in colder climates you can use up to 60 % antifreeze , but don't exceed that )
What is the purpose of coolant?
Antifreeze, or engine coolant, is a liquid used to transport heat away from an engine. Antifreeze is mixed with water to lower the freezing point of the liquid to protect components in cold temperatures.

Antifreeze, or engine coolant, is a liquid used to transport heat away from an engine. Antifreeze is mixed with water to lower the freezing point of the liquid to protect components in cold temperatures.
How does coolant work?
Engine coolant is what I'm assuming you are talking about. Engine coolant is a mix of water and etholyn glycol (antifreeze). It pulls heat away from your engine block that builds up from the friction of moving parts. The coolant mix allows the coolant to get cold to a point and not freeze because of the etholyn glycol. It is also not good to put straight antifreeze into your engine because antifreeze does not have as much cooling potential as water antifreeze mix. Also if you have just antifreeze in your engine the antifreeze will boil at a much lower temperature than a mix of aproxamalty 50/50.
Antifreeze leaking from reserve no heat?
The coolant is not flowing, causing no heat. Look at the antifreeze coming out to see it there are bubbles in it. If there are bubbles then you have a blown head gasket. If not, then you have either a bad thermostat of bad water pump.
What is the liquid in a liquid cooled snowmobile?
The liquid in a liquid-cooled snowmobile is typically a mixture of water and antifreeze. This coolant circulates through the engine and absorbs heat to keep the engine temperature regulated during operation.
Can smell antifreeze but no leaks visible no heat?
If your going through coolant then you have an internal head gasket leak you smell coolant because its getting into cylinder and burning
Why would a car leak antifreeze only when the heat is on inside the car but doesn't leak when the heat isn't on?
The heater in a car is a little radiator under the dashboard. It's called the heater core. There's a valve in the water system that sends hot coolant into the heater core when you turn on the heat, and keeps the coolant in the engine when you don't want heat. If the car is leaking antifreeze when the heat is on but not when it's off, something in the heater system has a hole in it. Because there's always coolant in the heater core and the hoses that feed it, my first thought is the valve itself is bad.
