Re: no heat
If it's the fan that stopped, blown fuse, resistance or motor. If the air comes out cold, low coolant level (very) or blocked heater core. Or, vacuum hose cracked, though I think that's more an issue of where the air comes (or doesn't come) out.

Re: no heat
join the club, i had no ac two years ago, paid some ridiculous amount to have it fixed, worked awesome all summer, then the first time i went to use the heat the blower stopped, i get hot or cold air no problem but it doesnt come out of anywhere but the dash defrost vent. if you are driving for a while its fine but initial warm up and cool down takes a while.
99 SLT Safari AWD, G80/GT4 rear, Burgundy, 196,000 and counting (strictly AMSOIL) flowmaster 40series muffler no more cat, K&N Kone Filter, roll pan, 255/60/15 rubbers mounted to 15x8.5 inch American Racing Tailgunner wheels, billet grille, CB Radio, Alpine Deck, Shag carpet, the list goes on....
03 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, LB7 Duramax Diesel, 5 speed Allison Tranny, Crew Cab Long Bed, no muffler or cat, 4 inch turbo back and side piped. not too many other mods yet, also addicted to AMSOIL.

Re: no heat
I have had this happen before and this may be your problem as well.
There is a single wire that plugs into the blower motor that comes from the resistor block.
This wire needs to carry up to 25 amps and can cause problems. Disconnect this wire and see if you have power there. It may just require some cleaning up and reconnecting.
If you do have power here and you are unable to get the motor working, you can be satisfied that it is your blower motor that is pooched.
