My Model S suddenly stopped blowing warm air from the Climate Control system. It only blows cold. I can't get to the service center until late next week and the weather is getting chilly here. Anyone have any ideas for a quick fix? A blown fuse? Where is the fuse box anyway? The seat heaters just aren't quite enough. Thanks.

I have to turn mine up to 80 to get it to figure out I want heat. Maybe try that if you haven't already. You probably have.

Mine did the same yesterday. On 50.1. San Diego replaced the hot air hardware this afternoon, but that didn’t fix it. They’re working on it tonight and will update me tomorrow.
Drove all the way down from Bellingham, Washington and have to drive back shortly. Hope they get it fixed because it was very cold in the car when it was 27° out this morning near San Luis Obispo!

I think it is just like your onboard charger, when its fuse is blown Tesla just replace the whole component which is very expensive but it saves time for your car mechanic for not opening up the component and replacing the blown fuse.
I think your A/C and Heater use 400 volts, not the familiar 12V one so it's not a quick change of fuses at the 12V fuse box.

While waiting for your heater to be fixed, you might want to stop by your local Auto Parts and get a cigarette lighter 12V portable heater.
Don't blame me if your 12V cigarette lighter outlet will be blown because of the portable heater though

Rechargeable Heated Clothing, Jackets, Gloves, Socks.. are readily available for a price:
After 8 hours, you can change your battery or plug them in your home 120V adapter or your car 12V socket.
You guys were right on the money. It was the DC-DC converter. Service Center is trying to hunt down a replacement but apparently there are none available in the U.S.. They are flying one in from China next week.
