Almost certainly your heater fan motor is gone. On my '90 Accord the
fan was working intermittently...if I banged on the dashboard on
passenger side it would start up. When I removed the motor and looked
inside the brushes were completly gone and the armature was damaged.
I replaced with a replacement motor from NAPA (approx $100). Note
that you have to remove the entire blower assembly to replace the
motor...if you have air conditioning it is a very tight fit to remove
and replace the blower...requires pulling back carpet on passenger
side and disconnecting some sockets on the ECU to move it out of the
way.
