I am answering your post because nobody else has, not because I know that much about heaters. You might hope that the because the fan can blow air and the coolant level isn't empty that the warm coolant level is actually reaching the heater core where the energy transfer takes place. I haven't got a clue where the heater core is, but I'm taking a wild guess and thinking that it's blocked up and that the hot water from your coolant system isn't making it through that critical area.
You haven't by any chance noticed an unexplainable sweet smell coming from your carpet, have you?

It is quite likely that the vacuum system is incorrect. Often people will run a vac line from the top of the water **** valve directly to an intake source to force their a/c to work. If you have automatic climate control then it could also be the electrical connector that sits on top of the water **** valve. Often one or both of the wires break and detach.
If you look at the vacuum servo near your right headlight, there should be one port on it with 2 wires going on either side of it. That port should have a vac line which goes to your water **** valve. The water **** valve is on the rh side of the rear of the plenum. It is silver in color and you'll see the heater hoses all around beneath it..

take your car to a radiator shop then, have them power flush the entire coling system including the heater core.
if the cooling system has not been flushed for years. coolant looks good but the internal vital parts of the cooling system is still dirty and this causes a problem to stop coolant from smooth flowing through the heater core.
this might be the easiest thing you can try
do not go to jiffy lube or wal mart , or other local garage to do this job . most of those shops do not power flush the system . they just replace the coolant using their machine.
when i took my car ro see how accurate the job is.
after they flushed the system i still se some deposits in the cooling system . this problem has not been solved till i took my car to a different shop and have them power flush the entire cooling system, plus back flush the heat core. see if this cures a problem.
