It was working yesterday but not today. The outside temperature in my area today is -16 without wind. What could be wrong with heater? How do I fix heater?

Good afternoon,

I attached a wiring diagram for you to view of the blower system.

You will need a voltmeter to do some voltage testing at the blower and the resistor.

Check the fuse I circled for power on both sides to be sure power is available.
