"Isn't not working"....so what's really wrong with it then?
Anyway, if the fan works at speeds as it should, just no heat, it sounds as if you have a blockage somewhere, be it either in the hose, the heater core, or a bad diverter valve.
If the fan doesnt work at all, that's your problem.

Re: Try this
He want's to use his heater, not bypass it
Besides, that's for the throttle body, not the heater core.
Check for vacuum at A/C set to max. Otherwise, in a pinch, you could just straight line it and plug the diverter valve hose off where it connects to the engine.

You can bypass that thing. Just run the back of the intake to the inlet, and then the outlet directly to the radiator. I did mine like this. I have also seen many people do it this way. No heats will come in the car unless the fans on. MY
