Sounds like it could be a few things. The blower fan is not working at all? Could be dried out bearings or something like that in the motor.

If the fan works and youre not getting any flow of air, Id look in the rain tray under the hood. Where the induction housing would be for the blower motor. It could be covered in leaves or ice or something like.

Or something coolant related, or something electrical. All of which any mechanic could slap on as random charges and get the most out of you

Do you have air in the system? Is it completely full?

I never realized it could be so many different things, lol
I'm gonna mention all of these suggestions to my son to check out-. I need this fixed a.s.a.p.
It's going to be 10° here tomorrow.
That's warm compared to what January will be.
My gosh, I wish I would've taken some auto shop classes...

Ok first off you need to be VERY clear on what is going on. Its not possible to diagnose with out the proper terminology.

If you fan is not working you need to start there. Even if the fan is not working you should be able to feel some warm air coming out of the vents at highway speeds.

If you don't have warm air then you need to look at other problem but first things first you need the blower to work.

If it is the blower and fuses check out, tap on the fan housing to see if it comes on. I have found this to work too many times in different cars.

Believe, does the fan blow on setting #4? I might have missed you saying so. If it does, then it is the blower motor resistor.

Not the greatest video, but it is a super easy fix you can do with one screw driver. Just drop the glovebox and it's right there.

Just to clarify- there is no warm air coming out at all.
Nothing is blowing on any setting, no matter what I do
& it's just unbearable.
I'm literally shivering as I drive, & my drive to work is easily an hour
I really with there was a quick fix bc this couldn't have come at a worse time.
Summer, I can go without a/c
Winter, I need to be warm.....

Also somebody mentioned the fuses- my son also suspects that- so it's going to be the first thing he checks. Since he's working, though- it won't get looked at until Saturday.
