the blower blows just no heat no sure if the heater core or the blender and what should i pay for one or both to have fixed
 
I've had to deal with symptoms like this recently at the shop where i work. First like another person says, feel the heater core hoses (which you will find under the hood. there will be two hoses that run into the fire wall.) If both are hot, then you have circulation and is probably not the heater core. Also, if you have an automatic flap for your hot or cold side, it is possible that the flap is stuck, or just not getting the electrical current to tell it to switch from hot to cold. Sometimes, and i've seen it happen, If you give the dash a few smacks, it will loosen up the wedged flap and will allow it to move freely. Also one other thing, check to make sure that you have plenty of coolant in your radiator, cause of course that hot fluid is what allow you to have heat. And one final thing, if your vehicle has a coolant system bleeder valve, you may want to bleed the coolant system. That may also be your problem. Hope this helps at all.
 
look for antifreeze on the passenger floor board, at least on older vehicles that means the core is bad. if the blower blows air then its something with the core. if you have done any hose work under the hood you may have got the heater hoses crossed too
 
Feel both lines going to the heater core under the hood. If they're both hot the core is ok. If only one is hot or both are cold try disconnecting them and blowing the core out with a garden hose.
You don't want to know what it takes to replace that core.
