The heater motor would work on low or med. Now it dont work at all. I replaced the heater control in the dash still nothing. Fuses are good.

Try replacing the blower motor resister. It's under the hood mounted to the firewall on the passanger side. You'll see a plug with aprox 8 wires going into it. Unplug it and remove and replace the resister. It's a cheap part (around 5 bucks) and it is most lilkely the answer to your problem.

Let me know if this helps.

NOTE: If the plug is melted, rewire it and check the motor to see how many amps it's drawing.

Positive feedback is appreciated.
