Default Climate problem

My problem here is that when the fan stopped working I usually hit the lower of hand compartment and it started working. But recently when I turn my climate on, I can hear that the flap positioning motor starts working but no air comes out of the fans, even hitting the same location wont work. So I removed the hand compartment and looked how the positioning motors work, when I change the program, they seemed to work fine. So I would like to know what could be the possible problem and can it be caused by empty climate?

Sounds like your interior fan motor is toast. Replace it.

+1 on georgeb's comment. Easy to replace and not too expensive.

So today I took the fan motor out thinking that it is toast.. Put some cables on it and tried with a car battery and it worked fine. So next thing I did was testing the voltage that went through the cable, got 10V. When just putting the cable on the motor it didn't work. So going down on the cables I found a problem. Moisture collector was toast, for my surprise it haven't burned down... One of the cables going in there was burnt out.. I'm going to replace the collector and the plug with cables and then I'm going to update the thread but now I can say that the motor works fine if it gets its needed voltage.
