Heat not working

I have a 95 silverado 2500, with a 350 in it.
We replaced the thermastate, and the blower fan, now it only blows cold air, checked fuses there fine, i did notice that the ac button, and the recyle air buttons dont light up when pushed, could mean nothing but im not sure. I have a 2 year old and heat is a must, please help me, what should i do next?

Also..check your actual lines...make sure they are connected and not bypassed...a lot of people bypass the heater core....if your the only owner and have never done this..then thats not it....check and make sure your thermostat is opening..open the cap to your radiator and watch it as the motor warms up..youll see the water swirl when the thermostat opens if you dont see that and the motor gets hot...replace it....check the vent doors under the dash...make sure they are opening properly...im assuming its an electrical panel like my truck to switch between cold and warm...if the door isnt opening properly, youll only get the air the blower moves.

Potential easy solution; check whether there is a vacuum operated valve in the heater supply or return lines. My old v8 '84? Malibu had one. It kept coolant from circulating through the heater until the motor warmed up; helps warm the engine quicker; BUT it was stuck closed and I had no heat. Rather than purchase a new one or mess wqith the vacuum lines, my solution was to use a piece of wire (nylon zip tie might work also) to hold the thing in the open position. So the motor takes a minute longer to warm up. Else might be air embolism in the line, which could indicate combustion leak or insufficient purging of air from the system after you changed the t-stat. Good luck.

Why is my heat or air is not blowing and car is running hot

How hot is the engine running in degrees f? Does the radiator fan run?
With hvac turned on, check voltage and ground at the blower motor. If good voltage and ground, suspect the blower motor is faulty.

Suzuki x4 2009 fan does not spin but when I turn air on it blows cold air.

Not sure which fan you mean. Engine cooling fan is different from heat/air blower fan.

Ford f150 xlt, blower fan won't blow ac into cab of truck can feel cold air when on highway. But fan not working. Help?

Check to see if the blower works with the heater on. Turn the control to heat and see if the fan works. First check the fuse for the blower. If the fuse is good and the blower does not work with heat on , the blower may be bad or the speed resistor maybe bad.

Heat blows cold air replaced thermastate still blows cold air

Check the flapper under the dash. there is a vacuum module on the heater box. If it doesn't get enough vac, it can't close the door all the way and cold air will mix with the hot air. Or it will never get hot because it's not closing at all.

2000 silverado a/c only works on high fan speed. Blows ice cold. But lowering fan speed, or adding heat to adjust temperature causes compressor to cut out.

Hi! The blower resistor is the culprit here,located on passenger side of vehicle under glove box area. I have replaced several of these for the same problem. You also need to check the connector for the resistor for heat damage to terminals and replace as needed. The harness will come with wiring attatched and heat shrink **** splice sleeves. hope you find this information useful!

Air and heat not blowing air through vents

Either Your fan switch is burned out or you blower motor is no good, your blower motor is on the passenger side under the dash. Before you replace any parts you need to check your fuses and relays under your hood and in the car. Usually if your fan switch goes bad you will still get some air blowing thru the vents, so my guess would be blower motor, If its not a blown fuse or relay.
