Hello my name is charles. I have a 2002 chrysler voyager 3.3l v6 van.
i live in red wing mn. Im in desperate need of help to troublshoot a heat issue. The heater was working great up until yesterday. Now it seems that its about to stop working. I really need some good input on what the issue may be and how i can fix this problem before it gets any worse. I cannot afford to take my vehicle to an actuall garage and i have a two year old son. If you can help please i can really use your expertise on this subject. again this is an urgent problem im having. i only have this one vehicle and if i cant fix the heat than i cant drive to work. i live 45 minutes from my place of employment. I really need to fix this before it gets any worse. again thank you very much for your help

first, check the coolant level in the radiator. after that, check the thermostat. look at the temp of the motor on your gauge. it should be in the middle. then check the heater hoses under the hood and see if they are both hot.

Dear cory
Thank you very much for your help. when i get paid i will be glad to make a donation to this site. Please understand i dont have alot of money. However without your assitance i would have alot less. So thank you.
I would like to ask you one more guestion if thats ok. If the hoses are not getting hot would that mean that they need replaced or that theres a blockage. Could it be something a little mpre difficult.

thanks, if one s hot and one is cold, the heater core is blocked. you can flush it out with a garden hose back and forth to flush out the dirt.
