Is the Inside of Your Car Feel Like the Arctic?

Nancy explains the few reasons why your car cannot heat up.

Transcript:

The other day I was driving to work and I had to wear gloves in order to hold the steering wheel. My car just wouldn’t heat up. Has that ever happened to you where the outside temperature was actually warmer than the inside of your vehicle? Hi, I’m Nancy at Kneble’s Auto Service Center. Now, there could be numerous reasons for why you have no heat in your vehicle such as a bad thermostat, low coolant, or a blower motor not working. Now, a thermostat, which looks like this, regulates the temperature of your engine by the melting of candle wax, which is inside. Once reaching the running temperature it then melts the wax, causing the valve to open, which allows coolant to run through the engine.

Now, thermostat stuck open will cause no heat. But if that thermostat is stuck closed, then coolant never reaches the radiator, which then leads to that engine overheating. So see your local car care specialists to diagnose your heating problem. If you like our video and you want to stay warm in your vehicle, give it a thumbs up.
