I have a kia sedona mini van and this is the first mini van i have ever had. On a car I have a good understanding how the heat works. I am baffaled on my heat in this mini van. the front heat works great, get hot pretty fast and works great. My back heat comes on and blows cold air. Where does the heat come for the back heater and if I am getting air but not hot air what might be the reason?

So that back heat is operated off a different system then the front heat, because my front heat works just fine.

To get heat in the back do I just push the rear heat button and turn it on, or does the switch that dicates either defrost, feet or dash vents need to be on a certain selection?
