For the ac to stop working either the compressor clutch is not getting power or the gas is too low so the low pressure switch has switched the compressor off to stop sucking in air through the leak. The blower is controlled by the fan switch which is a 3 positional switch that has a resistor for each position. These resistors have a habit of burning out so the fan will not work. The resistors are in a block located in the blower housing. So you have two faults to fix.

SOURCE: My heater blower stopped working

Hello,

The blower motor, as you have probably seen, is under the dash on the passengers side. While in Park with the parking brake applied:

Turn the Key On with fan blower set to High. Locate the blower motor and wiggle the electrical connector. If this brings the blower motor to life, a new blower motor is needed. This, if applicable, is a common failure that matches your symptoms. The new blower is simple to replace, although it is never fun working under the dash.

If you have a 12 volt test light or DVOM (multimeter) you can check for power at the electrical connector. You should have battery voltage (12+) with the blower set on high. Always use a known good ground when testing for power. If you have power (key on, set to high) and no blower operation the blower motor needs replacing.

The resistor you replaced is a very common failure on these.

Give me an update.

SOURCE: 2002 F-150 blower motor stopped working.

There are 4 things to check out to pin point the problem: the switch it's self, the blower relay switch, resistor block, and the blower motor it's self. good luck

SOURCE: The HVAC blower fan on my 2001 Pontiac Aztec

the blower not working on settings 1-3 is the blower motor resistor. this limits the power provided to the blower motor itself to change the speed. at setting 4 it is getting full power. since it quit on 4 also, i would still say the resistor needs to be replaced first, then see if the blower comes back. you may also need a blower motor. if you have a voltmeter you can just turn the switch to 4 and see if the motor is still getting 12 volts. if it is and doesn't run, it needs a blower motor too. if it's not, then its just the resistor

Testimonial: "Thanks! Sounds like an easier fix than I thought."

Heat/ac not blowing it was working for a couple days and just stopped I changed the blower motor and its still not working any assistance is appreciated!

You should have checked for voltage at the blower motor connector before replacing the motor .Could have a bad blower motor resistor, this part controls the different speeds . Have you checked for blown fuses ? There could be a bad blower motor relay ! Need to know year an make an model to check out wiring diagram to see what is involved in this circuit !

2002 acura running hot, Cooling fans are not comimg on and blower for A/C heater not working

Test both the cooling fan relay and the fuse (located under the hood and inside the control module box).

For the inop blower fan, test the switch if the fuse checks out.

1995 Pontiac Grand AM SE. Heater fan works for weeks then won't go, try a couple hours later then it goes.

It sounds like the brushes on armature for (blower motor ) are worn. Sometime a bad spot on the armature from not being used often and also by being in the engine compartment where it is exposed to condensation. When the brushes stop at that particular spot, the blower will not start spin process unless it draws alot of current that may be why the fuse blew. You can remove the blower and examine or just make the change.

A couple of weeks ago, my tag lights went out. Wasn't the bulbs, so my dad ran a hotwire from a tail light to the tag lights to keep them on. A couple days ago, my AC stopped working. Not blowing any...

The dash lights take a feed from the tail circiut,may be a corroded connector,pinched wire somewhere.The blower problem likely not related,maybe bad blower motor or resistor.

Heater stopped blowing on 98 Buick Century. Digital display stopped working a long time ago but the Goodyear shop didn't have a clue. Can't afford to take it to a dealer and need help figuring out what it...

See if the blower motor will run with a wire ran to it from a 12 volt supply from the vehicle.If so the blower relay needs to be checked to see if it is the problem,if it checks out,replace the control head,the part that does not light up anymore.If the motor does not work with 12 volts ran to it,replace the blower motor.
