there is no heater control relay.
check your coolant level,heater valve cable and the heater core's hoses.
nothing to do with the fuses either.
If the blower is working but no hot air, follow the instructions below

1. From under the hood, open the cable clamp (A), then disconnect the heater valve cable (B) from the heater valve arm (C)
2. From under the dash, disconnect the heater valve cable housing from the cable clamp (A), and disconnect the heater valve cable (B) from the air mix control linkage (C).
3. Set the temperature control button or dial on Max Cool (60 °F or 18 °C) with the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Attach the heater valve cable (B) to the air mix control linkage (C) as shown Hold the end of the heater valve cable housing against the stop (D), then snap the heater valve cable housing into the cable clamp (A).
5. From under the hood, turn the heater valve arm (C) to the fully closed position as shown, and hold it Attach the heater valve cable (B) to the heater valve arm, and gently pull on the heater valve cable housing to take up any slack, then install the heater valve cable housing into the cable clamp (A).

I'm having the same problem guys. It an 2000 Acura TL. ThehAC and heater both are non operable, I checked the fuses, sniffed the relays for signs of overheating, found nada.

I want to pull the glove box and check to see if I'm getting current to the fan motor. Does anyone know how to get to the motor assembly, or other options to explore before I start swapping parts? Thanks B.Kahuna
