You can check climate fault codes from the front panel. See attachment.

Also check the coolant pump fuse, #15 in the engine compartment fusebox.

While you are in the fusebox, make sure none of the relays have worked loose from their sockets.

After a period of non-use, the most likely cause is a stuck heater valve, or possibly a bad coolant pump.

Do you still get heat at low revs?
If not it is likely to be the heater pump.
At high revs you can sometimes get heat with the pump failed.

The pump maybe the problem. Up at the cabin chancing a bambi, but i will check when I get home. You don't have any specs on the location of the pump. One of my goals was to replace the remains hose this fall. 12 years old little preventive maintetance. Thanks Jim
