When you plug in your cummins truck the heater does not work have changed 40 amp fuse what else could it be?

There are several possible reasons why the heater in your Cummins truck may not be working when plugged in, despite changing the 40 amp fuse. Here are a few things to check:

- Check the power outlet: Make sure the outlet you are plugging your truck into is providing power. Try plugging in another device to see if it works. If the outlet is not working, you may need to have it repaired or replaced.

- Check the electrical connections: Inspect the electrical connections between the truck and the power outlet. Ensure there are no loose or damaged wires. Clean any corrosion from the connections using a wire brush.

- Check the heater element: The heater element may be faulty. To test the heater element, disconnect the power supply and remove the heater from the truck. Connect the heater element directly to a power source and see if it heats up. If it does not, the heater element is faulty and needs to be replaced.

- Check the thermostat: The thermostat may be faulty. To test the thermostat, set it to the highest temperature setting and see if the heater turns on. If it does not, the thermostat may be faulty and needs to be replaced.

- Check the coolant level: If the coolant level is low, the heater will not be able to circulate the hot coolant and heat the cabin of the truck. Check the coolant level in the radiator and add more if necessary.

If you have checked all of these things and the heater still does not work, you may need to take your truck to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
