Did you check the fuses ? relays? does it blow any air at all? could be blower went bad and blew fuse, or a relay failed, check fuses first.

Testimonial: "Yes Nathan I checked the fuses.It does nothing at all air conditioner nor heater will work does not show current temp outside nothing. Where is the relay switch located? Your help is greatly appreciated.thankyou [email protected]"

SOURCE: 2002 Buick Century Heater Doesn't Turn On

replace the blower motor speed control resistor 1st then the blower motor if the resistor doesn't fix the problem. Below are instructions to replace the resistor.

The blower motor resistor is located on the back of the blower motor housing under the dash on the passenger side. It can be difficult to get at, but it is doable. Be ready with the ibuprofen the next day for your sore back. Remove the cover panel from beneath the dash on the passenger side. Unplug the power 'ribbon' wires leading to the resitor. Unplug the wires that lead from the resitor to the blower motor housing. There are usually two, one black and one purple that share the same plug. Remove the short hose that leads from the blower motor housing to the ventilation system ducts. Remove the blower motor by removing the three hex screws that hold it in place. Remove the resistor by removing the three hex screws that hold it in place. The resistor is right against the firewall so two of the screws are very difficult to reach. A slender flexible socket extension will make the job easier. Attach the new resistor in place using the same hex screws. Only 1 or 2 of the original three are needed (the part is very light) if you do not feel like fighting with the ones next to the firewall. Reatach the blower motor and reconnect the hose. Plug the power cable wires back into the resitor and the wire from the resistor back into the blower motor.

SOURCE: Heater not working, 'low coolant' light, gurgling noise, overheating....

It may be a early signs of the intake manifold gasket. Did you check your radiator and water pump. Also if there is any antifreeze around your engine, then it's a intake manifold gasket. As for the hazard light thing and turn signal, something has to be replaced there.

2014 F150 System only draws fresh air in for HVAC. Button lights up when pushed but no change in temp and can still smell outside air. No noises.

If it's a mechanical vent flap, might have a loose cable. If it's electronic, might be your heater and / or A/C unit that is bad.

I have a 1998 Olds Aurora thats been a great car until about 2 weeks ago and then ... problem 1. lights flash off and on when car is off, clicking, buzzing noise coming from steering colum,...

problem 1 could be a loose wire, but if it is failure in the switch it will need to be replaced cleaning is probably not an option. Problem 2 bad gas can cause the stopping at idle speeds add some stp fuel treatment, read label to make sure it dries up water in gas. Fill up after you add the treatment and you will probably be good. problem 3 is tricky. Try turning off the a/c then turn it back on you should hear a little click like sound which should indicate if it is in fact turning on the a/c. If it sounds like it did turn on then turn off a/c and switch to heater or vent mode you should hear what sounds like little doors being closed. If you don't hear a change or heater doesn't blow hot air or your outside air vent doesn't blow cooler/outside temp. air then you may a have a leaking vaccum line or the vaccum unit is not working right.

Trace your wires from your heater. Check your fuses also, the heater wire likely shorted into the ground for the gauges or vice-versa. You have to have some wires rubbing together under the dash somewhere.

Turn signals dont blink.

You need to replace the turn signal flasher, it's a cylinder shape and may be silver or gold in color. When it goes bad, the turn signals stop flashing. Good luck and keep me posted.

Chrysler voyager 2.8crd diesel warning noise and undefinedcontrol

This is just the cabin heater light, it tells you that the electric cabin heater is active and the alarm sound is normal this contiunes until this heater has cooled down again usually 5-10 mins after the engine has reached operating temp. or if you turn off the ign. berfore engine reaches temp. This heater works as a booster to the normal heater matrix fitted that works off the engine coolant temp. or as the sole heater if engine is cold when outside temp is low (ie oct - may) and there is more than 100 miles or 1/4 tank of fuel left.
