All systems work, A/C, defrost, main vents, floor vents. Problem is, no heat. I have checked the function of all engine bay heating components and fluids and they are functioning. Any ideas?

Hello, I am Danny.

Just two quick questions first. Is there any coolant/water leaking on the passenger floorboard? Also, does there feel to be sufficient air flow coming from the vents? Get back to me and I will help diagnose. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

No fluids on floorboard and yes, excellent airflow.

Hello,

If both heater hoses are hot it sounds like you have a mode blend door actuator that is going out. Here is a guide that will walk you through the steps and the location of the blend door actuator for your car below:

This guide can help as well:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

I just wanted to add to this post. I took my truck to my local Nissan dealership and paid the $128.00 diagnostic fee. They told me it was the heater control valve. I have already checked it is operation and it was functioning. They were asking for over $500.00 to fix a part that was already working. Smh.

Are both heater hoses hot going into and coming out of the heater core? It could be an air pocket caught in the core you might need to jack the rear of the truck up? Did you see the guide?

Yes, I looked at the guide and yes, both hoses are the same temperature. A different mechanic is looking at it now, hopefully I will know something today or tomorrow.
