Does the blower work ? or is the car just blowing cold air ?

If the blower is working but no hot air, run your car with the heater on full hot and the blower on full speed, then go check your coolant level and make sure it's full.

Don't check it if the radiator cap is hot as coolant may gush out.

Coolant is probably low.

Have you checked the electric actuator that moves the air door in the air ducts to make sure it moves from hot to cold when you change the temp setting?

It's inside the dash.

Turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the engine.

Turn the fan off.

As you move the temp slider from cold to hot, you should be able to hear the actuator inside the dash. You can hear the other actuator as you switch the vent settings from upper to lower, to defrost, etc...

You have to listen carefully, but it's there.

Let this be a lesson to other n00bs. He came here with a specific question. He gave the symptoms and told us everything he had already tried to fix it. That lets the rest of us know where to start when trying to give advice.

The only thing he could have done better was post a specific question as the thread title.
