There's a vacuum actuator that closes the water valve. Vacuum closes it so no heat would mean the actuator works, but the valve might be stuck closed. A test would be to feel the left side near the back of the glove box after you've driven it for a while, if you're getting water it should be warm, the water line runs right by there (or you could take the glove box out.). The valve is under the plastic at the base of the windshield on the right side. You can kind of see it through the vent slots.
