Hi there. The front heater core my be restricted. A cooling system flush may resolve the problem. It may be a faulty temperature blend door actuator if the blower motor is still not operational. Checking the fuse would be in order. Another possibility is a faulty climate control panel.
Replacing components without diagnosis can be expensive and time consuming without resolution. I recommend having your heating issue diagnosed and repaired by a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, to have this taken care of.
