Heater Blowing COLD
it just froze over outside and i could careless except for the fact that i cant defrost my windshield
I have a 95 4runner
the heater is blowing cold air
and i drove it for about 45 min the other night on the highway and off and it still isnt blowing hot. Any suggestions on what i can do to fix this problem. Or should i just take it to the shop?

got to move the little lever from the blue side over to the red side....
whats your antifreeze good for?
otherwise its I think there is a common problem with the linkage on the blue/red lever failing.

if the temp guage is showing it running cold, then the stat is probably stuck open. get a new one and install it, take a minute or two and check out www.4crawler.com . there are some good articles in there on heating issues.

No Heat
It won't be the fan clutch, mine is seized and I get great heat, way below freezing plus driving 70 mph. Won't be the t-stat either, after 45 min's of driving it'll be warm. If it isn't the heater control linkage, its probably a plugged heater core.
