How do you determine what the problem is when the heater for a 99 Chevy Blazer won't heat up but stays barely warm?

In: Heating AC and Engine Cooling

[Edit]

Answer

Thermostat stuck open or heater core clogged.

I had a simular problem in feb.2005 with my 1998 S-10 Blazer and it was due to the Dex-cool had turned to sludge , and that caused lots of problems.

The first thing to do is after the engine is warmed up, feel the heater hoses going into the heater . if they are hot then the problem is in the heater, probably just adjustment or fuse. If they are just warm to cool then the answer is in the engine, probably needs a thermostat.

answer can also be the temperature control switch in dasboard of car
