Default No Heat/ AC

When I bought the truck it had working heat to the defroster and feet, and it would come in and out. It would work one day, then wouldn’t work the next. It’s been iffy, and sometimes it won’t work until I’m five minutes into a drive then it kicks on.
Move seen a lot of threads about no heat and only the defrost having air, but I think those posts still had cold air blowing, which I do not. No air whatsoever.

How would I go about this issue? It’s cold, I sit in my truck a lot outside, and the lady friend needs the heater back lol...frankly so do I.

No air means the fan isn't turning on. Either a wiring issue or depending on your year the resistor block. Another possibility would be that there is junk in the fan that is stopping it from spinning

The blower motor may need replacing also, It has carbon brushes that wear down and eventuality it will lose the connection to commutator.
