make sure all the fuses are good then with the engine running and the switch ifor heater is turned on. tap the blower motor. if the blower does not come on have it checked to see if its getting
power if it is not then the problem might be in the switch itself

You might look to see if there is a second fuse and a fan relay. Check the owners manual for the location of any other fuses or for a relay.

Suggested Repair

Check all heater fuses and the fan relay, using the owner's manual for locations. With the engine running and the heater switch on, tap the blower motor. If it does not run, test whether it is getting power; if not, the switch may be at fault.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1999 Dodge Caravan said the heater was working, then would not come on after a fuel stop. Advice was to verify the fuses and fan relay, tap the blower motor with the switch on, and check for power at the motor; lack of power may point to the switch.
