Make sure you have plenty of coolant or antifreeze in.

You need to back flush the heater core. Make sure you are flushing in the opposite direction from the normal flow. Do this by disconnecting the heater core from the water pump, hook a garden hose on one end and push the crap out the other hose into a bucket.

RE: Dodge Dakota's Heater Not Working
Extremely common problem in Dakotas. The heater core is plugged. A conventional radiator/engine flush treatment does nothing because it does not actually back flush the heater core. You can do it yourself quite easily. Disconnect both ends and make sure you BACK FLUSH it with a garden hose. You'll like get a ton of globby crud out of it. Reconnect hoses, refill system and enjoy the heat!

I also have a Dakota mine is an 87. Have you checked the fuse box? It could also be that the heater coil is bad. Check with the guys at you local Parts store they will help you with it if you just ask. But do it when they are not real busy so they can spend time with you.

Have you checked the blendor under dash? My not be opening all the way or closing partially blocking heat disbursement. According to my source this is a somewhat common Dakota problem.

RE: Dodge Dakota's Heater Not Working
My DH said maybe the heater door isnt opening, or there could be an air bubble in the line. He said you may have to rev it to get air bubble out. He had to do this to his bravada to get it working again. He also suggests going on to dodgeforum.com and ask people there, they are helpful with all kinds of things. He visits that site daily.
