The fan in the car works, it does not overheat but there is no warm air going to the cab of the car, I feel no warm air at all, the temp gauge is working fine and shows that the engine is warm. Where is the thermostat on my car, can that be the problem.

Check to see if both heater core hoses get hot when the engine is warm and the heater is on high and let me know what you find.

The heat on this car is controlled by a set of valves on the firewall in the engine compartment on the drivers side. They're under a cover that pops off and you can check for power at the plug that control those valves

There has to be hoses that supply heated coolant to the heater core.
