Could be a blown fuse or it might have a loose connection on the switch, wiggle it about a bit and try it again.
......now officially dubless.

does it work on speed 3? if so the resistor on the motor has shafted.  When was the last time you used it, the motor bushes may have siezed, spray a ton of penatrating oil on em whilst wiggling the fan blade :)

Had the same prob on my caddy. The resistance wire burned out on the plastic heater motor cover :angry:. Swapped the wire and fuse and it works again. Let me know if you need the parts..... wire, switch or motor as i have spares :wink:
