The Blower works but no heat. The heater hoses are hooked up and no leaks.

Do both hoses get hot or only the one off the thermostat housing? If only one gets hot I would think the heater core is plugged. Do you have a thermostat and is it ok.

Remove both heater hoses. Place a garden hose at hose connection on the heaer and see if water passes through. May be plugged so do this to both connections and look for rusty water coming out.

Is there a shut-off valve in the heater or one of the hoses?

Both hoses get hot but the air coming out is only a little warm.

It is reading about 2/3 before the middle. What degree thermostat should it have?
