Calm down, everything will work out just fine;
From your description it sounds like the vent mode motor is not working.
Do you know your model? EX / LX / DX

Did you check your vent-mode motor? Why do you think it's the control unit?

Because the control units come and go... mine does the same thing.

Basically, if it lights up and you can select different modes, it's fine. If the light is off and you can't change the mode or temp, the control unit is out.

Mine comes and goes, but stays on most of the time. Try eBay, they go or about $30-50 on there vs. $150 at the dealer.
