Icon2 heater not blowing?

hello all, i have a 97 civic ex recently my heater has been turining off and on. Then it just stop working. its hooked by running a wire from the harness to the fuse box with on/off switch i bought it like this the actual switch on the heater unit doesnt work so it was always running like it was on 4. So i checked the fuse its not blown now im stumped on what else to look for.Please help i live in new york and its getting cold.

None can help, well I replaced the fuse, relay, resistor. Can it be my control unit or blower?

Did you mean the blower motor is turning on and off? When it blows, you get hot air? Points to check: Blower motor, resistor pack, underhood relay, climate control panel.

You might have blown out the motor since you jumped the fuse...

Yes the heater control switch is broken so what it looks.like is the blower was jump with and on/ off switch and yea it started to go off on it's own and kick back on and now just doesn't turn on at all. Resistor, relay, engine bay fuse have been replaced still nothing blowing basically when I turn the switch on nothing happens no hot air or cold just doesn't blow. Thank you for the replies guys I'll replace the blower but if anything else yall can think of that I can check would be helpful. Thanks again.

If you want the blower and a/c to run like as it should, replace/fix the control panel issue first and restore the wirings like oem. Test the motor with direct 12v supply.

The control panel comes in one piece. R & R.

Hello all again im back so i checked the blower with 12v and it started spinning. So what if the reisitor is blown will the blower still turn on? Now if its not the resistor can it be the xontrol unit.
