Probably a blown fuse or a miswire. Pull the radio and revert to stock. If the fan works carefully re-wire the radio with a good diagram.
if the fan is still dead with stock radio setup you may have a short, bad relay or bad temperature switch.
if you understand electrical get a tester and start snooping.
see if any of the manuals contain good wiring diagrams.
if not its best to leave it to the pros. You dont want your car to go up in flames. If you are super concerned about a fire, disconnect your battery when the car isnt in use. SpoonerTuner com Free downloadable Honda Acura Factory Service Manuals...

SOURCE: Blower AC fan not working.

Hope you have both fixed your problem by now; my system has been down.

In most auto applications, the bearings of small fans and motors are made of sintered phosphor bronze with graphite or petroleum lubricant embedded in it.
Since there isn't much load on these, the bearings can outlast the rest of the car but they do have a tendency to get gummy and since the fan motor doesn't have much torque, it may have trouble overcoming the stickiness and start turning.

If it wasn't for the buried location of most blowers, it would be a simple job to flush out the bearings with a penetrating lubricant such as WD-40 that is mostly volatile and doesn't leave much residue behind to complicate (gum up) things again.

This problem is common to some computer cooling fans too although many of the small CPU cooling fans actually have PLASTIC bearings!
Including some that were clearly marked as 'ball bearings.'

SOURCE: The blower fan stopped working this morning. No

You can take a look at your fuses and see if your fuse is burnt out or if that not the case and the fuses are fine then it sound like blower motor is shot.

Clicking sound coming from the dash when AC fan is high and temp down low, stops when fan is lowered and temp is turned up? Can I fix this myself or how much could I expect to pay someone? 2007 Infiniti...

clicking noise could be blower motor bearing failure or blower motor fan work itself loose.you can fix.removing lower instrument cover to get to blower motor.you need turn off radio first to keep from losing code then turn off ignition remove keys.you need to disarm airbags by disconnecting the negative battery cable wait 20 minutes before working under dash when done reconnect negative battery cable.when disconnecting negative battery probably have reprogram door locks.and the ECM has relearn memory. some times you have to reprogram radio also you can fix problem but many things has to be reprogram.if first time doing mechanic work best find good mechanic or let dealership fix.

The a/c on my 2010 Mercury Milan quits blowing after about 2 hours of driving. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like the A/C clutch is no good and out of adjustment.You should goto your nerrest junkyard and get a used assembly take the clutch off then you learn how it comes off and install it on yours the save the pump for later use if needed. The clutch should only have a .010 air gap after install between th inner elctro magnet and the clutch plate it's self.

Fan blower stopped working

Hi Retta_roche,
This circuit is controlled through the switch. In the high position,it by-passes the blower resistor.So if the blower is off in the high position, and the fuse is good, you need to check the switch,blower motor or the wiring.Since the switch physically feels different,start there. Pull the switch and ground pin #4 blk/org wire with the key on. If the fan works,the switch is bad. You need to check the connector at the blower motor for evidence of a burn. If you find the connector burned,you will need to replace the motor and the connector. I am sending the wiring diagram to help you. If you need anything else,drop me a line. Thanks,Chuck d442985.gif
