Why wont the heater in my car work It is a 2003 Mitsubishi galant 4-cylinder?

Here are a few possible reasons why the heater in your car may not be working.

1. Low coolant level: Check the coolant level in your car's radiator. If it is low, add more coolant and check for any leaks.

2. Faulty thermostat: The thermostat is responsible for regulating the flow of coolant through the engine and radiator. If it is faulty, it may not be allowing enough coolant to flow through the heater core, which will prevent the heater from working properly.

3. Clogged heater core: The heater core is a small radiator that is located behind the dashboard. If it is clogged with debris, it will not be able to transfer heat from the engine coolant to the air that is blown through it.

4. Faulty heater fan: The heater fan is responsible for blowing air through the heater core. If it is faulty, it may not be able to circulate enough air to heat the car's interior.

5. Faulty blend door: The blend door is a valve that controls the flow of air through the heater core and the vents. If it is faulty, it may not be allowing enough air to flow through the heater core.

If you have checked all of these things and the heater is still not working, it is best to take your car to a mechanic to have it diagnosed and repaired.
