Default The air conditioner does not heat up

Hello,
My air conditioner in the car does not take out heat, it takes out air
Now I have two hoses cut off in the engine and that's probably the problem.

In addition, there is a connection in my opinion that they did not have a picture:

Looks like the heater core is bypassed. Most likely was leaking inside the cabin and previous owner bypassed it instead of fixing it. Not sure what you mean by your a/c is not heating up. You have a evaporator coil for the a/c and a heater core for the heat.

Lol. I almost didn't respond to it as well. But everyone has to learn sometime.

So that's how I plugged the pipes back in. I turned on the air conditioner and he started to heat up. I did a number of tests to see that it only heats up in heating mode, I checked for fluidity, and tested engine heat to see that it did not affect the meter and at the moment everything was looking good.
How can you tell why the previous owner cut off the heating pipes?

You'll have water/antifreeze in the passenger floor board. The only reason to bypass a heater core is for it leaking. That's the only reason I can think of anyway.
