Some Dodge Nitro owners report experiencing issues with their heater not blowing hot air after replacing the radiator and fan. These problems may stem from low coolant levels, which can be caused by leaks, a faulty radiator cap, or a blown head gasket. Additionally, some owners find that a clogged heater core prevents hot coolant from circulating, resulting in inadequate heating. Blower motor issues, such as a burned-out motor, can also hinder the heater's performance by failing to blow hot air into the cabin. Furthermore, a malfunctioning HVAC control unit may contribute to the problem. To address these concerns, owners are advised to check coolant levels, inspect the heater core, test the blower motor, and verify the functionality of the HVAC control unit. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consulting a mechanic or automotive professional for further diagnosis may be necessary.
