Where is the heater located in a Boxster?

The fan (“blower motor”) that blows either hot or cold air into the cabin is located under the dashboard, at the passenger’s (right) side. Here is a diagram of the blower motor (part #8) and its housing, along with the heater core (part #2), through which hot coolant must flow, to produce hot air into the cabin:

What happens if an outlet is blocked on an electric fireplace?

Ensure that the inlet or outlet to the electric fireplace heater aren’t blocked. A blocked inlet to the heater will prevent air from circulating through the heating element and providing warm air to the room. A blocked outlet from the fireplace heater will prevent the warm air from being distributed into the room.

What should I do if my electric fireplace is not working?

Turn your electric fireplace off at the unit, and turn it off and unplug the power cable at the wall socket. Leave the fireplace for a period of time to cool down, and then try using it again. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the inlet or outlet to the heater component. Ensure that the electric fireplace heater is clean and dust free.

What to do if your Boxster engine has no heat?

If you find that the level dropped, you have most likely hit on the solution to your lack of heat problem. Do not open the coolant fill cap while the engine is hot, you could get scalded. Put a rag over the cap as you are unscrewing it for extra safety.
