First off....HVAC is (High Volume Air Conditioning ) BTW, you dont have HVAC...its mostly industrial sized air conditioning units that are HVAC. Either of two things, could be your problem. Your blower switch or the resistor pack in the duct below glove box passenger side.

Actually, its

It is typically used as a term when referring to stationary rather than mobile systems.
Resistor pack is probably open. Pretty common problem. There have been several threads that included photos on how to repair. A SEARCH using keyword "resistor pack" will probably find them.

You have a burned out resistor block which is mounted to the heater air flow box. If you open the glove box and push the release tabs on the side you can the lower the door a little bit more to see the base of the heater box. The resistor is a white rectangle about 1.5 by 2.5 inches long with a 3 prong plug ( toward the hump of the car).
Use a phillips and remove the block and you will notice that the ceramic is all dry and cracked with a slight burn smell I have replaced mine twice so far. Once at 40k and once at73k and so far so good.
I hope this helps
Let me know

CORRECT AGAIN!!
Not expensive & relatively easy to do it yourself, if you'd care to...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Thanks for the replies everyone, and as soon as the monsoon season ends here in New England, and I can find some motivation, I will try and see if that is the case with my controls.......
Thanks again CEG'ers
