Heater doesnt work, but the heater core is new...

My car has A/C and a new radiator and heatercore, but the car will not put hot air through the vents. It just doesnt work.

What other components are there that could make the air not be warm? I don't want to spend another winter freezing to death on my way to work. Please help!!

Thanks,
Robert

There is a door that switches from taking in the outsid air and air that goes through the heater core. Check that out, it may just be the linlage connected to the control on the dash.

Is that linkage (on the door end) hard to get to?
