The heater control valve might have stuck.

It gets vac. applied to it to close it when you switch to A/C. This helps keep the hot water out of the inside of the car and heater box, helping the air work better.

I would take the heater conrtol valve off and see if you can blow through it, maybe just put a connector to eliminate it for now and see if that works.

If not, you might have a cable/vac./door problem inside the car.

Do you ever throw pencils/pens on your dash??

actually, vacuum OPENS the flow control valve. Mine had little "rocks" of congealed coolant in it, had to take it off and clean it out. such fun. I would start the car, turn the temp all the way up, and check for vacuum at the valve. If yes, then feel the hoses, if one is hot, and one is not, (by the heater core inlets) then the core may be clogged. If neither are hot, then the valve is not opening. Also, check your coolant level first, low coolant will also give you a no heat condition.
