Odds are a thermostat - but make sure the radiators' full first.
if it's low - it doesn't circulate much coolant through the heater core.

change your thermostat heres how:
1
Open the hood and locate the vehicle's radiator.
2
Remove the vehicle's radiator cap and use a radiator pressure tester to check for leaks.
3
Drain out some of the engine coolant in the radiator so the coolant level is below the thermostat housing to prevent leaking when replacing the thermostat.
4
If necessary, remove the upper radiator hose.
5
Remove the thermostat housing bolts.
