   Half way down your center console there is a slider that goes from blue to red slide it to red. lol.
   
   Sorry had to do it.
   
   Maybe try the fuse box in the engine bay.

   ^^
   
   Does the rear window heater and your power steering still work? They're all on the same fuse (under the dash) so thats an easy test...
   
   If they're still working then its obviously something else in the engine bay; thermostat etc. Does your engine temperature guage work normally?

    Could be a heater matrix, check if there is water at the footwell. If not the system may need bled
