ok my heat does not work so i need some help on what i can do to fix it cuz it is 38 degrees where i live. oks o here is what happens when i turn the air on or heat the temp stays the same no matter what it will say 85 but it will stay at whatever temp it is at even if i turn it all the way down my temp gauge works so i dont think it is the thermostat what could it be???

Did it JUST break or has it never worked. I know its cold there but does the A/C work? or is it just blowing air and not heating or cooling it?
Is your heater hose hooked up? Mine wasn't when I bought the car (still isn't) that's how I found out mine wasn't working.
its been this way since iv had the car i bought it in the summer and always had the top off so i didnt need a/c but the a/c doesnt work ethier and yeah it just blows air the a/ condenser doesnt even kick on..

This is a common problem with a simple fix. Locate the hard vaccum line that runs across the firewall going from the driver's side to passenger. Hint its the only hard vaccum line.
The line runs into an actuator on the passenger side. It is very common for this hard line to break or somehow get punctured. With the heat on full blast and an assistant check to see if the actuator moves when the heat is turned on, if it does'nt move check for leaks in the line and patch or replace with new line. Hope that does it for u.:icon_bigg
if you don't want to have to do the check of all that push the pluger up into the it's self on the heather vsv and you should get hot air quick if the pluger will not stay up on it's own then get a piece of wire and tie it open for the winter just a idea on how to fix it cheap and quick

or you could just bypass the heater valve al-together and remove it like i did, or you could also zip tie/wrap with a coat hanger it open if you're in a tight spot money/time wise.
edit: isnms beat me to posting a pic, and m dialup didn't show it.

lol, shaeff
EDIT TO DIAGRAM:
Thankfully, very recently, I was informed that the check valve should remain in line. The heater vacuum valve should not see positive pressure. I reworked my image to show the correct way to bypass the heater vsv.
