The simplest way is to crank the car and allow it to reach operating
temperature.
Then check the inlet and outlet hose to the heater, simply by grabbing
it near the heater box.
If the water control valve is on, or leaking, the hoses will be warm/hot
to the touch, with the inlet a bit warmer.
Both hoses relativly cool means no water is flowing through the heate
core.
