Check for the heater relay. It's an industrial type "fuse".

SOURCE: HVAC intermittent problem with 2002 Olds Intrigue

I assume you are talking about whether or not the blower fan is running. I had a similar problem. The likely cause is the resistors that control the motor speed. I took off the resistor pack and because it didn't look like any of the electronics were damaged I replaced the blower motor and that fixed it. One or the other, or both should do it.
Check fuses first.

My 2010 chrysler sebring ac/heater fan cuts off when I turn it to max speed ,but all other speeds work

There could be a few potential causes for this issue. One possibility is that the motor for the fan is worn out or faulty, causing it to cut off at the highest speed. Another possibility is that there is an issue with the electrical connection or the fan control module.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
  1. Check the fuse: Locate the fuse box in your car and check if the fuse related to the fan or HVAC system is blown. Replace it if necessary.
  2. Inspect the fan motor: Open the hood and locate the fan motor. Visually inspect it for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice any issues, such as a broken fan blade or worn-out motor, it may need to be replaced.
  3. Test the motor: Disconnect the electrical connector from the fan motor. With the car turned on, use a multimeter to test if there is power going to the motor when the fan is set to the highest speed. If there is power, but the fan still cuts off, the motor may need to be replaced.
  4. Check the fan control module: The fan control module is responsible for regulating the fan speed. It is typically located near the fan motor. Check for any signs of damage or loose connections. If necessary, replace the control module.
If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing these steps yourself, it is recommended to consult a professional mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue with your AC/heater fan.

How do you find the heater/AC fuse? It clicks but won't turn on!

There should be a 30amp HVAC fuse in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. The location should be in your owners manual.
Keep in mind you have an electronic control panel and a control module that manages the blower speed and the other controls. Either one of these components could have failed.

1995 318i ac fan won't come on

You will probably need to replace the resistor behind the dash. Usually the first symptom is the fan will only blow on high but not on the lower speeds. If that is the case, then the resistor ( cheap fix) is the culprit.

If you just lost it all of a sudden, you should check for a bad fuse and will probably find other things that don't work too. Replace the fuse and watch to see that it doesn't go out again - which if it does, you have a short somewhere that needs to be fixed.

Heater/AC fan does not blow on two lowest speeds.

Your fan uses resistors to reduce the speed of the fan. Hi speed doesnt use the resistors and that is why it runs on hi. Standing in front of the car, all of your heater housing is on the left side of the firewall You will see a connection with about 4 wires That look like they go nowhere. Take the couple screws out and pull it out. You will be able to see the burnt one.Jump out the burnt on and that will give you another speed or two.
