    both front and sleeper blower motors get bad on pre 2014 cascadias. new blower motors for hvac are different than originals. the kit comes with jumper wire... $180 at dealers and easy to change.

    Connect DiagnosticLink and post the fault code here. Or if your dash can show the code write it here. must be spn xxxxx fmi xx format.

    Do the simple things first check ur batteries. You have to unhook them and test individually. Sounds like you got a bad starter or ignition switch. You can test the starter turning the key on and touch the 2 post on cylinoid with a screwdriver or jumper wire. If it’s in the switch or solenoid it will start. If it won’t start it ur starter or batteries. Their are 2 fuses in the fuse box. A 30amp and a 5amp sitting together. On a freightliner they sit bottom left corner usually hidden. One of those control ur blower motor. I put a 40amp and 20 amp in mine works fine now. I don’t know why anyone would use a 5 amp fuse but that’s wat will be in there
