Gene, what year and type coach do you have? It would help to know that to help and troubleshoot your problem better. My 83PT40 has 4 valves and they must be all on. In some instances, the handle turns but the insides of the valve have remained in the closed position. Hope to heasr from you, Ernie

THere should be maybe two or more red handled gage valves
under the bus near the engine in the coolant lines.
These need to be open, If you have a Winter/Summer switch in the cockpit, there are several Sporlan valves ( electric solenoid valves) These valves are troublesome and need to be rebuilt (not a difficult job). The trick is to find them under the bus. One may be up front between the first chassis heater and the first gate valve , one in the rear near the last chassis heater and hot water tank plumbing
