I Spilled coffee on my climate control unit, then the air blower stopped working immediately. Checked fuses. None blown. Took apart climate control unit and cleaned all the buttons and contacts because they were sticky and wouldn't move. I did not notice any dried liquid on the circuit board itself, just the buttons. All the controls on the climate unit work flawlessly. The fan speed indicator bars just go up then down without the blower turning on. I can hear the ac turn on. I can feel heat from the vents after a while, just no air flow at all. I have never had any problems with the air blower at all before this occurance.

Chances are something has shorted in the circuit board and will need replaced.

I purchased a used unit on Ebay. I installed the unit, but I cant control any of the functions on this one at all, and it still does not turn on the blower. The old one works better. Its definately the same part number. Do I need a diagnostic tool to reset or code something?

I don't see any numbers that are the same. Are you sure it is the right part? It can look the same and be different inside.
