1998 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 66.000 miles

I have a 98 ford escort and the heat does not seem to work at all. With the Heat on full blast I took a look under the hood and found that the a/c compressor was still running. It does turn off when the switch is in the upright position for both the heat and air to be off though. In addition to this puzzling problem, the temperature control knob turns beyond full heat. Are both things a concern to why I have no heat?

Check the thermostat and heater core if its clogged up. If it has heater control valve check that too-
