First you need to test your controls. No matter what some air should be coming in. If you turn it to heat does it get hot? If you turn it to cold does the air get colder? If it does, then your head unit is okay and you will need to replace the blower motor. Approx. $70.00. Takes about a half hour to replace, one of the easier fixes. It is located above your interior passenger fuse panel. Pm if you have any questions. Good luck!

To test the motor, simply ground the housing with a piece of wire to ground. If the motor is good it WILL come on in HIGH speed. Trust me!! I found out the hard way!!!

There is a control module for the motor. I will look in to it mor later tonight!

Yea,, you can test the motor inplace. All you need to to is remove the lower dash cover and the blowre motor is up undre the dash. You will just about have to crawl into the passengers foot well and look up to see it.

Here is a picture of it.



It's under that piece of brown foam stuff!
