I don't understand why my heater will not get warm like it should. The floor vents warm up slightly after driving for appx. 15 miles. The console vents do not ever heat up, only cool air.

Hi:
Is the engine running at a normal operating temp? Also, with the engine hot, running and the heater on high, check both heater core hoses under the hood. Both should be hot. also make sure the coolant level is full.

Let me know what you find.
