Check the fuse, you can check the blower by checking the power coming to the fan with volt meter.

Thats very odd that the heater isnt working. I would understand the A/C not working.

I talked to Honda and apparently that's typical of the blower motor resister failing, take it out and replace it, I just did mine and it was around $45 for the part and 10 mins to change it
