have you tried getting the codes yet.. like ALBUNDY suggested?
turn on your car. hold the "off" button on your heat control panel and the passenger temp "down" button for a couple seconds and all the lights will come on and then write down the codes that come up on your DIC (on your dash under the speedometer, etc). tell us the codes and we'll see if we can help out better.
