Hello, have you checked under the hood? Is the coolant level ok? Does the radiator fan work? Can you tell if there is any coolant circulation?

Are you saying the hvac blower motor doesn't work?

Hello, I don't understand about the heater? Are you saying it doesn't blow any air at all or the air isn't warm? Usually if the thermostat is stuck closed, the coolant recovery bottle, where applicable, will fill up in a hurry. I guess it could be the thermostat?
