Just wanted to add to this thread that I had the exact same problem -- the AC and heater controls did not work, with the exception of the blower motor (1,2,3,4) which was working just fine. The dash lights for the AC and heater controls were not illuminating, changing the location of the air flow (feet, panel, defrost) did not make any changes, and the temperature adjustment did not change anything. This had all stopped working at the same time. (Worked fine the day before, and then no longer worked at all.)
I removed fuse #71 from the fuse box panel under the glove box and examined the fuse. The fuse looked fine. After about one minute of being out, I replaced the fuse, started the car, and all the AC and heater controls were working properly!
Thanks for the help!
