Hi there Mr.Mechanics
Well, I have a 2002 Ford Taurus. I just had a vacuum hose changed and a coil replaced. Before I took my car to the shop my heater and temp gauge was working. Now I have no hot air and my temp gauge is not registering. Can you please help me?

With engine off and cool
Open hood and check coolant if low add as needed
Check for any disconnected wires by the thermostat hosing
Start engine and run checking if engine heating up to operating temp and if thermostat any good
