      how long did you allow your car to warm up?
      might have something to do with the tstat, have you changed it recently? maybe wrong temp rating?

      as for the wipers, sounds like switch could be bad.

                    Your heat could be your thermostat, mixture valve, something blocking heater core, or broken Heater Control Unit.

                      first of all i would check for any crap falling down into the vents by just running your hand near the windshield where it's still frosted. It could be something simple blockage of the vents that doesn't permit the hot air to blow up.

                        Is it manual or digital temperature heater control panel?
                        If its manual, it could be the mixture valve as stated above, check the range of movement from cold to hot (using the heater control panel dial) at the mixture valve.

                        If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                          it has a full range of movement.... today i took off the radiator cap and there was a bunch of air bubbles comming out of it...could it be that there is a huge air buble in the heater tube that goesin or out of the heater core?

                            Very possible, especially if the heater was set on cold when the coolant was drained/refilled.
                            Put the heater on hot and refill the radiator, remember to blead the system using the blead screw on the thermostat housing

                              is there any instructions anywhere on how to bleed it because i know exactly where the screw is i just dont know when to tighten it after i loosen it. is it untill i get a steady flow of coolant comming out?
