can you provide more details? My heat recently went out and it was my control valve. Try checking connections and associated equipment, If your familiar with using a multimeter and have one try shooting your wires to ensure they are in good working order.

It won't display it, or it won't get hot? It sounds like you are seeing MAX HOT so I am guessing it is reading it. Search heater control valve, and make sure your coolant is topped off.

your heater core might just be blocked. that happens to me too. but what i do, whenever it doesnt want to heat up. i just give the car full throttle and it knocks the blockage loose.
