Front Climate Control Vents Stopped Blowing

The vents to the front seating area seem to have stopped blowing today, regardless of how I change the controls. I've tried the windshield defogger, full max cold, and varying the temperature, as well as manual control of the fan level. Nothing. The controls on the dash seem to all function fine, as with the center arm rest console that blows air to the rear seating area, but the front seating fans refuse to blow. What gives? Fan fuse? Common problem? Easy fix? Big money?

Thanks in advance,
Will

I had a similar problem a year ago, except my front fan blew intermittently. One minute it would work, the next it wouldn't (at the worst times too). I can't remember off the top of my head what the problem was, but I'm fairly certain it was covered by my extended warranty. I'll check my past service sheets to see if I can find out what it was.

Final Stage Resistor. Do a search.

Yeah, the final stage resistor is what was replaced, but like I said, my extended warranty covered it, luckily.

It'a an easy fix, there's a very detailed article here on how to change it. I did mine last summer.
