no air through vents, blower motor failure?
 
i have a 93 glt, and today while driving to work, i noticed that i did not have any air coming through the vents, on any speed, and setting. i know that something used to make a squeaking sound before this happened, but now that no air is coming out, there is no squeaking.
would this be the blower motor?

bearing probably went out in the blower, my guess would be the blower too


maybe a relay or the risistor, but i would think it's the blower with the squeaking

If you want to check the blower motor, you need to remove the glove box and the lower passenger knee bolster/trim to access it. The blower motor is attached to the firewall with three or four torx head screws. Not hard, should take about 30 minutes

assuming you had 4 fan speeds before it stopped working, It is probably the fan.

If you had speeds, 1, 2 and 3, but not 4, it's could be that the resistor went out (also a 30 minute fix once you get the part). That would fix fan speeds 1-3, fixing the 4th speed is either the fuse, or the relay (behind the glove box, a $10 dollar plus about 15 minute fix.

If you lost all 4 speeds at once, probably the fan...

i lost all four speeds at once, all four worked before just fine, and i noticed today i can hear my blower motor like making kind of a knocking sound when i try and turn it on, so im pretty sure thats it
