I have a 05 pathfinder, I go out in the morning start it up turn on the heat, let it run for 10 minutes or so but nothing blows out warm air until I put it in drive and start down the road..It seems like this just started happening last year..It used have the truck warm before I got in it. any ideas? thanks!

Have you ever had the truck serviced or replaced the coolant?

same thing happened to my wifes 05 pathfinder, i read somewhere its air in the coolant line. remove your coolant cap and start your car rev the engine a little some coolant will spill out just do this for a few min the just fill your radiator back up and it should work just fine i did this 2 winters ago no problems since.

Fill the resevoir bottle about an inch above the full mark while the engine is cold. If the level is right at the full mark, it can still pull a little air through the system, common problem, easy fix
