2006 Pontiac Torrent. I have no heat.
Hi,
your car's heater core might be malfunctioning or their might not be enough coolant (or hot coolant) to heat the inside of your vehicle. Please first ensure that your coolant is not running low (if so, you can add more) and then allow a place like autozone to perform a quick check on your heater core to see if it needs to be replaced.
Thank you.

Pull the screw in the front near center of seat in the plastic cover also there is one in the rear u will want to re move
U can access the latch look at ur cable it may be streached or broken.
They r simple to replace and don't cost very much from the dealer
The rear of the seat pulls up u will see snaps on the cardboard pop them and follow the cable
I have replace several. The other side the shorter seat u will need to remove the side cover of that seat to replace that cable. Those cables cost around 30.00 each. If u have torques bits u should be able to replace them.

Did anyone make sure the engine cooling fans work/ came on? This is my first check, unless it is obvious that the head gaskets are blown(lots of white smoke out the exhaust).
Fan does not blow at full speed with air
BLOWER RESISTOR IS BAD. CHECK CONNECTOR ON RESISTOR TO MAKE SURE IT ISNT HEAT DAMAGED. IF THIS IS OK YOU COULD HAVE A BAD BLOWER SWITCH...HOWEVER THIS IS PRETTY UNLIKELY

Many wiring harnesses are premade to be used in a number of model packages. For instance your model may have a 'Tow Package' and this wires may be part of that, or the top model may have a backup camera, and it is the power to it. As long as everything works, just tape it up out of the way.
