Default Need help with heater

My 90 Coupe blows but it never warms up. I saw some postings about the burned out fuses on the computer looking board. Do I need to solder 2 new ones in or is it something else. Also, where is the board?

I would like to stay warm in my vette. Any help would be appreciated.

OK,

Need to figure out where the heat has stopped.

Recommend getting the car to operating temps. Set heater temperature to MAX position, manually select blower to high or fan position 9. Wait about 5 minutes. Place your hand near or on the LOWER heater hose. Then place your hand on the upper heater hose. The upper hose should be cooler. If you have a temp gun with a laser dot, really good. If they are the same temp, this suggests the core is blocked and not transfering heat.

If you have the service manual, head for section 1B1-8. Should you have to remove the core, my thoughts are with you. Let us know.
