If (BOTH) hoses are hot U might have a mixer door problem-A bad Actuator will do it,OR U could just have a small Vacume hose off - under the dash on the passenger side OR under the hood - Check from the Intake manifold 2 the fireeall on the passenger side.
I would say that your heater core is ok...it sounds like you have a bled door promlem in the dash.
ihave a 1986 chevette that when i turn defrost on it blows out heat and when i put heater on it blows out only cold air? ihave a 1986 chevette that when i turn defrost on it blows out heat and when i put heater on it blows out only cold air?
it is a heater. heat. it blows heat. warm air
The thermostat could be stuck closed. the heater core could also be plugged or the door closes when you use ac and opens when you use the heater may not operate.
Blown Heater Core - The heater fan blows past the heater core and if it has a hole in it your antifreeze ios being blown onto your windshield.
The motor which blows air through the vents.

No fuse for those symptoms. Could be low on coolant. Bad thermostat. Plugged heater core (my guess). Temp blend door problems.
The line or core is probably plugged, or if it has a manual or vaccum switch check to see that it is not corroded. If it moves freely, I would find both lines to the core (heater), disconnect them and drain as best you can. I would pour some flush into the lines and let it sit in the lines/core for 15 minutes then attach a garden hose and flush the crap out. I usually install some cheap clear plastic tubing on the core/lines to let gravity help me and to direct the waste away. Remember to top off the rad.It will heat good then. I hope this helps you.

If the coolant level is okay, I would suspect a restricted heater core. Try flushing the heater core.
check heater core could be cloggedCheck the engine coolant level also.*no, the heater relies on the engine for heat and when you drive the engine warms generating heat:)*
This would indicate that the system is low on coolant when the gauge is hot. Not enough coolant to service the heater core.
