It sounds as if the "blower resistor" has failed. Not terribly uncommon, this device is usually mounted in the heater fan case (so it can be cooled by the blower airflow) and has several different resistors that lower the voltage to the blower motor, therefore slowing it down. My guess is that there is only high speed. They are not terribly expensive but can be somewhat problematic (on some models) to replace. Greg Skolnik greg@motor-works.com
A vacuum leak is one possibility.
unhook the battery for about one minute.If the light comes back on you will need to have your truck hooked up to a computer scanner to determine the cause....
heater core is probably faulty if fan only blows cold, also check air temperature controls, vent may be stuck The heater core is basically another radiator in your vehicle that tranfers warm fluid from your engine/radiator to the inside of your vehicle. This usually means that it depends on continuous flow to work. The fluid supply line to the core could be blocked or routed incorrectly, or the core could be bad. Its possible that a previous owner had a leaking heater core and bypassed the heater core entirely (happened to me) and never told the purchaser.
heater core leaking
NO! 100-120F setting normal. 140F can cause accidental scalding.
No, not if it's on a heat setting. Most home thermostats have a "Fan" setting that will blow cold air if the attic is cold.

The motor could be frozen up or the motor resistor could be blown. If the motor is frozen and you try to turn it on, most of the time it will blow the resistor which in my 1986 Mazda b2000, is located behind the glove box mounted in the air duct.
SOUNDS LIKE THE INTAKE GASKET BLEW, OR THE HEATER CORE FAILED.. EITHER WAY, THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR.
I have a 1997 Mazda B2300 that was having the same problem. When I went to have the emission done it failed. One of the codes on the print out was a possible issue with the Idle Control Valve. I replaced it and that has solved the issue of the high rev when I shift. Still not passing emission though. Hope this helps.
Not necessarily. It depends on what you mean by a bad heater core. The core will either be leaking or stopped up. If it is leaking, then it can cause the engine to overheat and the only fix is to replace it. A clogged or plugged heater core can sometimes be fixed by flushing it. You can also temporarily bypass the heater core until you can get it fixed. Just connect the inlet & outlet heater hoses together.
was there something on your dash that fell in the vent, a bad fan will make noise all the time.
