No heat from vents! I'm cold!

So tonight I decided to turn my heat on since it was a little chilly. I pressed the button for it to come on, and nothing happened. I could hear the doors opening to send the heat to the vents, but no substantial air coming out. I can feel heat, it comes out, but not like the heat is on. Is this a common problem? It seems like the blower motor just quit out of nowhere. Unless the resistor burned out, which would suck because I have to take the dash apart to get to it. I can press defrost, air, heat, nothing comes out. Help mee!

Not sure about your fan....
But if you crack open the sunroof...just tilt it...set air to fresh... You will get pretty good airflow...no. Fan....you can do OK with the window on a non-sunroof car....
Manual or auto climate?
With the auto the buttons get sticky due to the tube mounted cupholder...
Drinks splash...if they feel OK....
Guessing first place to look would be a relay....

Yeah, it's the auto climate. Buttons don't feel sticky and I don't have the tube mounted cupholder, unless the previous owners did. How do I get to the relay and how would I test it? Google isn't very helpful with things.

Are you getting any air at all? Could be the cabin filter if you haven't changed it in a while (didn't see you mention it). If your getting no air flow at all I would check all fuses/relays first and if nothing then the blower.

There's airflow how it usually seeps out, but the blower itself just doesn't kick on. I was gonna try and get to the motor connector to see if it runs straight off a battery, but I didn't get time this morning. I meant to do it around this time but i got offered another shift at work, so I had to take that. I can go out and check the filter though, but it worked just fine about a week ago. Never got any signs of it being clogged.
