    SO!

    In Ohio.. Toledo/Bowling Green area..

    We have hard one of the coldest days/nights in years.. 10 inches, and freezing rain.. We hit a level 3.

    So my windows were frozen. I went to turn the defrost on.. Nothing. No air flo? In fact.. No air flo on any of the vent options..

    Is it possible that the snow is just packed to tight and air can't flo? Or perhaps it just froze in general? Concerned.. hope it's nothing big! Thanks

    If the snow was packed tight enough to make pulling air difficult for the blower, that could have put too much strain on the blower, causing that blown fuse. If the fuse is it, and it doesn't blow again, I wouldn't worry.

    i bet the blower froze up, then blew the fuse.

    mine was making some not so nice sounds today @ 4 deg's. it quieted down as the car warmed up.

    if the fan locked up on you some, the resistor could have fried, then popped the fuse.

    is your pass side floor getting wet after a rain storm. the cowl under the windshield fails and leaks on the fan.
