HELP Freezing cold Maine and no Heat in 850 850

Hi All. A few days ago I brought my 850 in for repair. We had a ton of work done. Thermosat, waterpump etc. Neither of which were a problem before, but were replaced before they presented a problem. Anyway, When I picked the car up...which was after hours, the radiator light was on...this was not on before the car went in for service. The fluid was low, despite the fact on the invoice it said fluid filled. We put fluid in and brought the car home. Last night I tried to drive the car and there was no heat...or at least the fan would not come on at all.
Any thoughts as to what the problem could be? The auto repair place is closed until tomorrow.

check your fuses & fal blower motor relay, make sure connections for fan & temp sensor on coolant housing is plugged in. Usuallty the thermosta is the problem, but you just replaced it so I dont know what else might be the problem. Blower motor resistor, ???

HELP Freezing cold Maine and no Heat in 850 850

Coincidentally I drove through Maine last week in that same cold and had the same problem. I changed the thermostat, but that didn't help. Now I find that the fan is working fine, but while heat is sent to the driver side, I get only cold air on the passenger side. Maybe the passenger side sensor? I hope it is not the climate controller since that can be really pricy. Any ideas?
