1982 CDT No Heat and Winter is coming! Where to start?

I have an 82 CDT, nice daily driver, 170k miles. No surprise that A/C doesn't work....but heater doesnt work either. Where do I start. None of the buttons on the climate control panel work. I am thinking maybe the unit is fried? What do y'all think?

Thanks!!!

So the blower doesn't even come on? I would start by checking and replacing the fuses.

That CCU has a high failure rate, but start with the fuses.

300CD will suffice, just as its family members i.e. 300D, 300TD, 300SDL, 350SDL and so on

Some folks may have too tight underwear. All CD's that year were turbos, hence the redundancy is taking up more space than necessary, as mentioned, ignore it, but I thought I'd explain to people who weren't born with the knowledge to not upset others with your ignorance.
Anyway, you may need to pull the CCU and check for "cold solders". That would be when a factory solder has come loose by decades of shaking.
The pic shows the pc board inside, some of those solder points may have a crack around it and therefore no connection.

Allow me my "bit" and try not to read too much into it.......



PEH annoyed me with his correcting folks on "fungus" vs "algae", so I get it.
I'm just not going to stop.......
