Why did the heat in my car suddenly stop working?

A heater can stop working for a number of reasons, including: A low antifreeze/water level in the radiator due to a leak in the cooling system. A bad thermostat that isn’t allowing the engine to properly warm up. A blower fan that isn’t working properly.

Why did my air and heat stop working in my car?

Faulty Thermostat A faulty or broken thermostat is the most common cause of your car’s failing heat. Stuck open or stuck closed, the part can not only cause issues with your heat but also your engine’s cooling system. One becomes an issue of comfort, the other becomes an issue of “Oh no, I’ve borked my engine.”

Can a blown fuse cause heater not to work?

A blown fuse is a symptom not a cause. If a new fuse blows as soon as the blower is turned on, the heater circuit or motor may have a short that should be investigated. If the fuse lasts a while and then blows, the fan motor is probably running hot due to worn brushes and/or bushings and should be replaced.

What would be causing no heat in the car?
