When a head gasket blows, it most often causes a lose of coolant either in the exhaust or the oil. When the coolant drops, there is not enough to circulate through the heater core. The engine may over heat but no heat will come out of the heater because there is no coolant in it.

How do you know if 2001 Ford Taurus has blown head gasket?
A blown head gasket can have many different symptoms. Some of the primary ones are: • Engine overheating • Smoke coming out of the tailpipe. The color will depend on where on the head gasket that the damage is located. White smoke usually means coolant is getting into one or more of the engine's combustion chambers; dark smoke usually means oil is getting into one or more of the combustion chambers. • Heater not working, because coolant flow and pressure through the engine is compromised by the blown head gasket, preventing enough hot coolant from flowing through the heater core.

Does the heater have anything to do with a blown head gasket on a 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette?
The heater generates heat by blowing air over a small radiator type device (heater core) under your dashboard. The device runs hot coolant through it continuously. If you have a blown head gasket, your coolant is being evaporated trough the firing chambers and tailpipe. When the coolant level is low due to evaporation, there is no water to flow through the heater core. Keep in mind if you are not certain that this is a blown head gasket, these models were notorious for a defective lower manifold gasket leak that caused it to lose coolant the same way a head gasket would.
