there is no air flow coming through the vents. originally there was a problem with the heater but after taking it to a shop that was supposedly fixed. i feel like it may be faulty wiring. and if i do get the air flow working, and the heat doesnt work i think thats just the heater core. any information you can give me would be helpful. i really want to be able to fix it myself. so if it is possible could i possibly get directions on how to do so.
thanks in advance!

There is a blend air door located near the heater core. Check to make sure it is opening and closing properly.
