The heater in a vehicle circulates engine coolant through a small radiator called the heater core located in the cab. Air is drawn in through an opening in the cowl and then blown by the blower motor through the heater core to pick up heat. The heated air is mixed with varying amounts of unheated air to control the temperature and is then blown into the cab. Different doors in the heater control the flow of air to the floor, instrument louvers, and defroster outlets.

Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable and draining the engine coolant.
