S40 Heater not working S40-V40 2001

OK, my heater is not working. And it just got cold here in central Texas.

On my car, when everything is set to automatic, the heater does not start blowing until there is actually hot air to blow (usually about 3 minutes into my drive).

But now it never kicks in. When I twist the thermostat all the way up, it does start to blow; but it is COLD air. And this is after 20 minutes of highway driving--and the temp gauge on the dash shows the needle right in the middle.

Another clue (but perhaps a red herring): this evening when I shut off the car, the engine fan kept running. This has only happened one other time--when it was overheating due to a radiator leak.

Yours,
Arro Smith
Austin, Tex.
