My heater was working just fine this morning. It's now blowing cold air. The engine sounds like there's a belt sqeaking. I'm not sure if these are related. I live in Alaska so, I'm most interested in getting the heater working.
Do you
have the same problem?

Inspect and tension all drive belts and replace the thermostat and see what happens

About 4-5 days ago, I checked all the fluids. I put about a half gallon of coolant in it. Earlier toay is when the heater stopped blowing warm air. I checked the coolant and put the rest of the gallon in there and then some of a 2nd one. On the way home from work, the heater started working. I checked the coolant again when I got home and put a little more in it. I moved the car so I can see if it's leaking or nt.

It sounds like the HVAC control module is acting. If you're in Anchorage and it continues take it to TKD Auto

I'm in Seward. The car was running fine this morning. I went to check on it after about 2 hours at work to see if I could see any leaks. There's about a half gallon of coolant underneath my car now. 2 yrs ago I had a new water pump and thermostat put in there when I put a rebuilt engine in there. Would either of these go out again so soon? When I bought the car, it had coolant caked all over the engine. I have an appointment Fri at No Sweat Auto here in Seward. There's only so many places to take a car here. And I won't be driving it until then. Thank you!

Replace thermostat and try to find where the leak is coming from and then comeback.

I don't know where the thermostat is. I'm just trying not to get ripped off. I've done about as much as I can with the time I have. I looked at the invoices from the car repairs and I had a new thermostat put in a couple years ago but not a water pump. My cousin mentioned it may be hoses. Sweat will be looking at it on Monday. Last time she did this, it was a cracked head. Crossing my fingers its not that.

Have you ever been to Seward? Sounds like you've been to the culvert.

Yes dear, Dunno if Emmett still alive he owns the old gas station in town right beside the bank on the main st. He's pretty good. Maybe this auto shop you're talking about is towards bear creek or easville Yes I've been in the culvert combat fishing for many years. Okay let me know what sweat auto has to say-perhaps your cousin is right about a leaking hose

No Sweat is in Emmitts old shop. Emmitt is still alive, he sold the shop this last year. I've had the best luck with them. Did you go to the combat fishing up here this last year?
