I was driving my vehicle today and had the air on with the dial not all the way on cold when I noticed it was not working. Now nothing happens when I turn on the system - heat or cold. No fan, no anything! Could it have blown a fuse? I am a single parent with limited income and am mentally picturing a large repair bill!

Hi Ssandi ,

Most probably the heater fan motor is faulty. Give the housing under the glove box some banging with your hands and if the fan comes on, the fan motor has failed and would have to be replaced.
