There is a heater resistor behind the trim in the passenger footwell.

Its a common problem for them to go.

If your heater doesn't work on all the settings (1,2,3,4) it could be this thats faulty.

That is the piece you need.  Its a simple job to change.  Take the lower trim beneith the glove box out to reveal it.  Its a simple cartridge that pulls out.
