Heater Stopped Working! Help!

[ben_cb7]

So i got in my car this morning.. about 30 degrees btw. and the heater did not turn on. i tried turning it off and back on..... and still doesnt work and i cant drive it because the window keeps fogging up on me. I bet its the fuse but i am betting someone else has had this same problem! HELP ME OUT! GRACIAS BROS

does it blow when you turn air on?

[ben_cb7]

no. nothing blows. when i change from defrost to say just regular heater i can hear it move but nothing comes out....

It probably is the fuse then. If it was blowing cold air it couldve been a much bigger deal.

the problem is not your heater but the blower motor. I know it sounds like a stupid thing to correct you on but this will help you get more assistance, pin pointing the actual problem and not a broad generalization. It's not that you aren't getting heat you see, it's that you aren't getting air flow.

I know, I know...but remember we aren't in the car with you and we don't know what you mean...we only know exactly what you say, and can't infer what you meant. The more info you give the better we can help.

anyway as mentioned, check your fuse...let us know after checking that.

Mine jus went out a few weeks ago and i replaced it, try knockin up under the passenger side dash if it comes on then the motors going out. If it comes on u can do that 4 alil while but how long is unknown. its not hard to replace but it does take alil finesse to get the box out. I suggest lookin online 4 a new motor autozone and advane want 100+ for jus the motor 130+ for motor and wheels, i found one 50 online.

As already mentioned check the fuse.
If the fuse is OK, its more than likely the heater resistor.

fuse was ok. so i need to replace the heater unit?

Yes you will need to replace your blower motor. it's under the dash.

[DJ metadelic]

Resistor, or a bad motor. x100 on what these guys said.

No not the actual motor, the motor resistor (speed controller) in the heater box.

Firstly check for power at the motor:
If there is no power at the motor, check the Heater resistor.
If there Is power at the motor, then the motor is faulty.
