If Chevrolet captiva heater is not working then there could be a couple of things wrong. It could be a broken heater core or fan motor. Much more common though is a bad fuse. To get to the fuse box look to the left of the steering wheel look for a small seam or crack along the dash. Using a screwdriver or prybar You will want to pop this open. On the inside, You will find a bunch of fuses. On the back of the panel that You pulled open, You will see a diagram that will show You what each of the fuses is for. If this is not on the back of the panel then You can also find it in the owner's annual for the vehicle. Once You have figured out which fuse You need simply pull it out. The two sections that stick up should be connected by a thin strip of metal. If this has been broken then the fuse is no good and will need to be replaced. If this strip is there then the fuse is fine and can be popped back in. New fuses will cost You about 10 dollars, so they are pretty cheap.
The electronic system has to be reset. We bought ours and the next day the heater didn’t work, never tried it at the dealer as it wasn’t cold that day but the next day it was a bit chilly and it wouldn’t work so we took it back and the salesman said the electronic system had to be reset and haven’t had a problem with it.
