The heater in your vehicle produces heat from a heater core. The heater core is a small radiator, located under the dashboard of the vehicle which consists of conductive metal with cooling fins to increase surface area. Hot coolant passing through the heater core gives off heat before returning to the engine cooling circuit. The fan for the vehicle's ventilation system forces air through the heater core to transfer heat from the coolant to the cabin air, which is directed into the vehicle through the vents. If there is a lack of hot coolant running through the heater core or less common, a pocket of air trapped in your heater core, the vents will not produce hot air. It is crucial that you immediately check the level of the antifreeze in your radiator and fill it until it is full. Then monitor it and check for leaks. Running an engine without coolant can lead to expensive or irreversible engine problems like head gasket failure or broken/cracked heads or block.

I have a 2005 Monte Carlo. Before I turn off my car I turn off the blower (air/heat) before I exit my car. The other day when I got in my car the blower was going full blast and nobody uses my car but me. After I shut my car off and removed the key the blower continued to run and now my battery is dead. Is there a fuse or anything I can disconnect so I can drive my car to a shop to get fixed? 1 answer
