Heating and air conditioning doesn't work at all. The exchanger won't work, the blower doesn't come on and you can't hear the A/C compressor cut on if you try the air conditioning. Relay maybe? This all happened after I replaced the ignition module which after I did, everything stopped working. I had the Dealership reset the ECU which fixed a lot of things but my heat and a/c still dont work.

Are you just not getting any air coming through the vents?

No air at all. Everything in the car worked fine before I changed the ignition switch.

Check the blower motor relay. And just slowly look over the area at which you were working, its very easy to knock something unplugged, without realizing it, you also could have blown something, so just look over the fuses.

Is the blower motor relay located under the hood? And how do I find out which one it is? They are not labeled on the black plastic cover.
