Anyone know of a 12 volt heater that actually works? This Commie air invading from the North reminded me my truck's heater doesn't work.

If your thermostat was replaced and your engine now runs cold, its a thermostat issue. It’s probably a fail safe thermostat that fails in the open position.I have a new heater core in the back seat. Kinda thinking that's not it, though, might be something in all the gizmos that determine whether it's on AC or heat. To top it off, I battled that truck overheating, and now, it runs below normal.
Didn't bother to test the new 193° thermostat I put in it, maybe it's defective. But something is definitely screwed up with the mechanics of the heater/ AC operation. Maybe the vacuum operated switch under the hood?
More crap screwed up on this truck than I've ever seen. Some gorillas have been playing with it.
I'll look into the FlexaLite, Thanks.

12V heaters don't work because of the amount of current they can easily access is pretty limited. Your average cigarette lighter is on a 30A fuse, so even at the max 30A * 12V = 360 watts. Not much energy to turn into heat. Now look at any compact heater you'd plug into a wall, a hair dryer, etc. - usually in the ballpark of 1500W to 1800W (15A * 120V).
A small space with really terrible insulationTrue, but now look at the cubic feet of air you are trying to alter. A small fraction of the volume of a small room.
Yeah, I would look at the vacuum hoses first. Then the actuator, then the blend door.

While funny, no heat also means ineffective defrost/defog.Put a coat on
