Problem with AC and heater
On the way to the grocery store everything worked fine. Upon start up again (to go home), the AC doesnt work, heater doesnt work. I do feel very subtle air coming out of the vent....
Thanks
PS. Gosh it seems my car is experiencing so many malfunction.
It has only 85000 miles on it.
Is this common?
Sounds like the blower motor isn't working. It could be the motor itself ($$$) the fan speed switch ($$) or just a fuse ($) Does your car have the electronic climate control or the 2 temp knobs? If it is the digital, and the entire thing shuts down, you have a problem that will cost several hundred $ for a new computer, or if you are handy with a soldering gun, $0.99 for a new electronic component at Radio Shack.

I've check the fuse..It seems all the fuse are intact. My car has the electronic climate control. I'm press the "check" button, and it says everything is fine. The computer lights up and all the buttons work.
How do I determine if it is the blower or fan speed switch?
What else should I look for?
Where is the blower located?
What is the cost to repair it?
Is it a simple job?
Right now the heater and AC (only subtle cool air comes out) is not working--.But there are some days, it works. I would start the car up and the AC is working perfectly...Some days, when I start up the car, the AC doesnt work at all......But then later on in the day, when I start the car up again, the AC works......It seems its a 50/50 chances of working...
Thanks
