Open the windows?  
I’m assuming the car is in a heated garage, since you want to heat to come into the car.

Anyway, jokes aside:

You might have a burnt out fuse.  
Start there.

Next possibility is a bad fan speed switch on the controls.

After that, you might have a burnt out blower motor.

Getting the fan to turn on is step one.  
After that, if there still isn’t any heat, then that’s a separate issue.

BC.

Have you tried all fan speeds? high/4 is often a separate switch in the relay, were 3=2+1.
