Heater just went dead!

I was driving around today and it was a little cold so I crank the heat up and put the fan on high and nothing happens! I tried various settings and nothing. I can feel heat slowly coming out but there is no fan pushing the air out like it should. I'm thinking it's a fuse (I hope it is) but what else could it be?

Thanks
Lucas

If it's the fuse, it's fuse # 11. If the fuse is good and there's power there, check for power out at the fan motor. Those die occasionally, and they are cheap.

Mine always blows the fuse on high. The permanent fix for this is to replace the heater motor. The bearings dry out which puts an increased load on the circuit causing the fuse to pop.
