While out running errands, I stopped and parked the car in a lot the was on a slight incline. I set the parking brake, took my foot of the brake, the car did the normal "roll back" just a bit like you would expect from parking on a hill/incline. Turned off the car, took care of my business and when I came back and started the car, the "Service 4WD" light, the "ABS" light, and the "Brake" light were all illuminated. About 30 seconds later, the blower for the climate control stopped working. A/C button was not on, just the fan. Fan has 5 settings, and #4 hasn't worked since we bought the car used. 1,2,3, and 5 all normally work. Now none of the fan settings are working. I let the car sit and cool for at least 2 hours before trying to start it again. When I started the car, the same 3 warning lights are on and the fan is still not blowing. Bad blower motor? Bad resister for the blower motor? I checked the fuses and they are intact. Also, when I tried engaging the 4WD switch (it is normally always in 2HI and when I go to AWD or 4HI it won't engage. (FYI it is a simple knob to turn to switch between 2HI, 4HI 4LO and AWD.) Any suggestions???

check battery for condition including load test autoparts can do for free and tire stores. then have it scanned the control head may be going bad or if there is an abs code the service 4wd goes on because the abs takes out traction control if something there is screwed up. a pro needs to scan it for hvac an dabs. autoparts cant scan for that.
