My daughter's Ford Escort wagon has a heater that just does not heat the car. We have had the dealer flush the heater core and that helped a little, but the car is identical to the one I drive and mine puts out a ton of heat compared to this wagon. The thermostat seems to be functioning fine. what else could be going on? The blower that blows the heat into the cabin works just fine.
