It lasted a week or so. Now the same happened again heating working ok. Got out of car and when I got back in car again turned engine on no heating. Went to work the next morning heating came on after 10 minutes of driving.

Should be able to hear or feel air / heat from vents if motor functioning as it should

If motor fault , check heater resistor , wiring and plug connection / contacts .You usually have to remove glove box to get access
