The AC does work, but the heat takes about 10 minutes to come on, functions for all of 30 seconds, then vanishes for another 10 minutes or so. I guess that would make sense.

Further update: I checked this morning and the coolant reservoir was just about empty. I filled it up and then let the car sit for a few hours. I came back and it was again just about empty. It's been raining consistently so I couldn't tell if it all leaked to the ground, but I'd say that's a good possibility.

I plan on taking out the coolant reservoir and checking it for leaks either tomorrow or the day after, and failing that, checking the hoses as well.
