    hey everyone, wanted to know what you guys think could be the issues of these problems. my car has been daily driven but it sits outside and winter has been nasty this year. its an 05 base grand prix

    first of all, i dont think my car has really had heat all winter. it warms up just a little bit but i can leave it running for 20 plus minutes and cant get my car HOT or even really WARM at first i thought it was because i put in a cold air intake over the summer, however i dont believe it should still be this cold.

    second, my blower belt squeaks when i turn up the blowing especially when its really cold

    third, my power steering has gone out on me 3 times while driving itll work than just be gone. once i didnt have acceleration either.

    fourth, another thing to note is at times when my car is idling the blowing isnt as hard but when i accelerate it blows harder

    fifth, today the INSIDE of my windshield was completely frosted over after sitting at school all day. about a month ago we had a leak "fixed" i think they just filled the area with silicone and it was causing my dome light area to be wet after hard rain (i guessed it was the seal on the antenna) but i havent had a problem since. but obviously some kind of moisture has gotten inside

    sixth, i noticed about a 2 inch crack on my dash has appeared the other day, dont think theres much to fix here but still thought id add it to the list

    car is sitting at the shop as i write this waiting for inspection tomorrow

    any thoughts, suggestions, advice?

    im trying to convince mom to sell it and buy this beautiful black GXP i found, but that hasnt gone far yet

    You should back flush your heater core. Your blower motor is on it's way out it doesn't have a belt. You need the updated plastic cowl to keep water out.

    The heat thing could be a couple of things. For me it was I was pretty much dry on Anti Freeze. This helped a little but I replaced my thermostat and after that it was warming to an uncomfortable heat. Also have you checked your power steering rack? Btw I also am young so I wouldn't swear by anything I say lol.

    i havent checked anything myself, i ment to check the fluid levels before i took it in but forgot. and dsmuts, if youre talking about the plastic piece that goes under like the windshield wipers above the cabin filter, forget the name. i bought that and put it in a while ago so its not that
