I was driving one day and my air stopped working. The outside air and the heat works because I can feel heat coming out of my vents but non of the low/med/high settings does not work. I checked the relay and the fuses and they are all good. I even tried giving it the classic thump on the dash board in case anything thing was loose and nothing as well. I am just wondering if it could be the blower motor or something else. Before this happened the air was pumping out hard on high and it seemed to work when it wanted to on low, med worked good too.

The most common problem is the blower motor resister. However, usually the motor will run on high. Here is what I need you to check is this. First, check the electrical plug under the hood where it plugs into the blower motor resister. It is on the passanger side of the fire wall. The plug is about 3 inches wide and has several wires going to it. I have see where they have melted down. If it is good, you need to check for power to the blower motor. (Not a fun job). The blower motor is behind the dash on the passanger side (glove box). You need to remove the glove box and other things to access it.

Let me know what you find.

The resister pins were rusted up bad and once I sanded off the connectors and plugged it back in it started up like a charm. Thanks for the advice 10/10 : )
