If your cabin heater isn't working, the problem likely lies within:
* Heater control valve: This valve controls the flow of coolant to the heater core. It might be stuck closed.
* Climate control system: Faulty blower motor, resistors, or controls themselves.
* Coolant level: Low coolant means less to circulate through the heater core.
* Blocked heater core: A build-up of debris can restrict coolant flow.
* Engine thermostat (not directly related to cabin heat, but a necessary component): A faulty engine thermostat can prevent the engine from reaching optimal temperature, impacting the overall heating system's performance.
To find and diagnose the problem, you'll need to consult a repair manual specific to your 1999 Ford Fiesta Zetec or seek professional help from a mechanic.
