Default HEAVENS TO MERGATROID!! My heater and air need repair!

My air and heat were working just fine for the longest time. It just plain quit. There is a slight wheeze and then nothing. I checked my fuses and condenser and everything appeared fine. Winter is coming SOON in Indiana so any help would be appreciated. Please

Check to see if you have power at the blower motor. Do you have a dvom?

What is dvom? And how do I check that power is getting to it? I already checked the fuses.

Check it at the plug in on the motor. See if it has 12v on high. It is plugged in at the fire wall on the passenger side. Can't miss it.

Yeah I feel stupid, I can't find where to test it at. The fan doesn't work either.

Why does that deserve a "Help!" as if it's some kind of emergency? What do you think this forum is for? HINT: Maybe it has something to do with getting and giving.... help?

It ought to be against the rules to use "help" in the title unless you are stuck somewhere with a disabled vehicle. That's the rule on another forum I'm on (different vehicle type) and it's enforced.

The result is, when people really ARE stuck with a disabled vehicle, they get HELP right away. People jump all over those threads to help.

Here? It's crying wolf. Nobody pays any attention.
