its 20 degrees here in lovely New Jersey and my heater went out last night. The lights on the ***** went out as well. There is a weird noise coming from behind the glove box.....im thinking its a ground wire. No fuses are blown. Anyone know where that ground is? and the best way of getting to it?

It turns on and off as it pleases. I turned off my off-road lamps and dimmed my dash lights and it seems to stay on longer. This is why i think there is a ground problem....not always completing a circuit.

The ground seems to be the problem but it mite also be that your blower has gone out on you.

I have not looked at a 2000 before but behind my glovebox is the fan resistor,it would cause this to happen also,it is possible it is shorting out.
