How to get heat in my car after bypassing the heater core?

Topic starter

I have a 2001 f150 5.4. I have bypassed the heater core because of a leak. I don't have time to replace right now. Is there another option for heat in a vehicle? I have looked at inverter  but the watts will only allow 150w out of cigarette plug. Thanks for the help

Since a typical electric space heater is 1500 watts that's a draw of 125 amps at 12 volts, not including inverter losses. So it does not seem practical from that standpoint alone even if you hardwired a big enough inverter directly into the electrical system - and that's not even getting into potential safety issues.

Diesel heater. 
a heated seat pad. 
that’s about it 


Thank you
