Default 03 Acura TL headlight and Blower Issues

I have two issues with my 3.2tl

First off is the moisture in the headlight. The driver side headlight beams no longer work. It appeared one day after washing my car, i sprayed the hose down the windshield and i think i may have forced moisture into the headlight. What should I do to fix it?

Also my blower has stopped functioning. The a/c comes on but is stuck on blower speed zero. The **** does not turn on any fans. How do i fix that?

I appreciate your help because I do not have any money to pay someone to repair this, and I cannot drive at night or during hot days.

not an ac guy, but take the headlight out. check for any cracks or holes. fix any crack (i used jb weld when i left a socket on my headlight and closed the hood) all good now. and get a new hid bulb. i have two for sale, replaced bc i wanted 6k instead of the 4300k stock. their philips bulbs with about 25-30hrs on them. all work good. let me know if ur interested

1. replace your headlight. if you have glass coverage it should cover the cost.
2. go to the (you got pm) website and get the how to test auto climate system guide. most likely you got a problem with the motor it's self otherwise it's gonna be EXPENSIVE to fix that one.

common problems with the blower not working. the blower motor connector gets melted causing blower motor to not work. there is a fix/bullentin for that. honda/acura has a pigtail you can install. pm for more info. sometimes if its melted bad it could short out the blower motor and you may end up having to replace blower motor.

On my brothers car the blower went out so i checked the plug...it was melted but not bad so i just cleaned the connection and it worked.
