I went an entire month this winter separate from any heat in my car.
It was quite a miserable month, to say the least.
I have an hour drive to labor plus back each afternoon. It was so cold, plus I dreaded having to drive someplace, especially to work. My husband tried to figure out why the heat wasn’t working, but he just couldn’t diagnose the problem, and he is not a mechanic, but he has done some mechanical labor in the past, so he thought he would at least give it a try. I wish that he could have fixed the heating issue, but he just couldn’t. We ended up taking my automobile to a mechanic plus asking them to diagnose the problem. We paid them to tell us what was wrong, but my husband wanted to fix it. They told us the problem, plus my husband was able to update the part that they told him to for a lot less money than they would have charged us. We were so happy to have heat again, but when we turned the heat on in the car, it still did not work! Long story short, the mechanic had misdiagnosed the problem. My husband did not do anything wrong. He updated the part that they told him to. It was just the wrong part. We ended up having to take it back to the mechanic, plus they fixed it, but it was super extravagant. I want to complain about it in my heart, but at the same time, it is super nice to have heat in my automobile once again.
