It could be low on coolant,low-temp opening or bad thermostate,heater core may be plugging up,if it has a in line valve on the heater hoses it may not be opening,could also be in the heater controls to the distribution system in car(a vacuume line may have come off or a cable may be off or broken rarely happens but can).If you decide to drain the system be sure as a reminder to refill at 50/50 mix of antifreeze . best of luck to you !

This could be very serious. Watch for signs of overheating. Check your coolant (antifreeze, water) every day or twice a day. This happened twice to me and both times it was a bad water pump that leaked. When it gets low enough, the first thing you notice is no heat. Check your hoses (once the engine warms up) to make sure there are no leaks. Look carefully. No heat is almost always because water leaked out somewhere and got too low to reach the heater core.

Get the cooling system checked, check the coolant strength, check the thermostat, check the fan and heater core.

Check your coolant level. See if the fan works. Check the thermostat.

Another poster hit the nail on the head. From simple to hardest.....
Check your coolent. Check your thermostat. It is going to be one of the two. Neither is expensive to fix.

Could be that a fuse is blown. Check out your owners manual.
