so none of the speeds for the blower fan work. i have no air and thus no heat either. i have checked all my fuses and they r all good. the module still works and i can press all the buttons and see it changing the temps but no air flow. just wondering if this is an easy fix. i havent had much time to mess with it but i can normally get a pretty quick answer on here.
 






Mine did this - I picked up a used fan motor from a scrapyard ($20). In and out in under an hour. You have to unbolt and move the air filter housing, the coolant tank and the windsheild washer tank. No need to disconnect them just slide them out of the way.

It can also be the resistor, but normally if all speeds quit then it is the fan motor itself.
 






If you have the electronic control check the blower relay under the air filter
there is a small covered box it has several relays one is for the blower motor
mine quit and I found the relay connections were corroded cleaned everything and it worked again ,I replaced the relay just to play it safe
 






i fixed it. i unplugged and wiggled the wire harnes going into the blower and its workin fine now. easy fix. now to the next little bit of tlc.
