There is no air coming into the cab of the car. We turned it on, and it didn’t come on. We checked the switch, and it was good. The fan that blows air into the radiator is fine, but no air comes into the car.

It sounds like the blower motor has gone out, but we should check the fuse #55 in the fuse panel under the hood. Here are two guides to help us fix the problem and I have instructions on how to change the blower motor out int he images below in case you need them.

This guide can show you how to check for power and ground for the blower motor:
