Default Heater problems...

I'm having some issues with my heater. I have my climate control set at 75 and typically have it off as I enjoy having the windows down. However this morning it was chilly so I had the climate control on, it took me a little while to realize there was no heat coming out of my vents. The climate control seems to be doing it's job as the heat was continuing to go up as the car warmed up, but there was no fan noise or heating coming out of the vents. I played around with it and finally was able to get it to work. It worked fine the rest of that drive, but by the time I drove it again this afternoon the same thing was happening, now I can't get it to come on at all...

Would this likely be the heater fan or something else... What am I looking at to get heat going again? Also I turned the climate control way down to see if I could get the A/C to kick in, it was too cold to test that as I couldn't get it low enough.

Anyways any ideas or suggestions would be great, thank you!

bad thermostat or your heater core is blocked up.

Default Sounds like the bearing on the blower has dried up.

Can you manually adjust the fan speed ?

Everything works expect the motor. However this morning I played around with the fuses and replaced the fuse for the blower and it seems to be working just fine now, hopefully this was all it took!

I have a friend that is going to look at some other possibilities but I am hoping that it was just a bad fuse!
