    Default Help, No heat!!

    Like the title says, I am heaterless right now. Just put a new thermostat on hoping that would fix the problem, but no. A coolant flush is coming Monday, but I dont know if that will help. The car is a 2000. Thanks

    Is the car getting hot (temp gauge)? Is the top radiator hose getting hot? Do you smell antifreeze in the car or under the hood?

    Check to make sure your heater hose hasn't busted... it'll be right by the firewall.

    There are no leaks, and the heater hose is fine. The car warms up just fine and the top hose does get hot. I didn't smell antifreeze before I put the new thermostat on.

    When you adjust the temp control from cool to hot do you hear anything moving in the dash???

I reattached it, and turned the knob a couple times and the cable promptly slid off again. This was because the clamp holding the cable in place was loose. The pic below shows whats going on down there. Problem solved. Thank You guys.
