All the knobs on the climate control works except the knob that sets the amount of air that comes in. I checked fuses and the plugs in the back but everything's plugged in. Temp works fine, and the area you want the air to go is fine but my shits stuck on full blast. Any ideas?

The resistor pack is shot. The resistors limit the amount of voltage going to the blower motor, they get hot and eventually fail. A bitch to get at from what I remember.

It is mounted on the blower unit, below and to the left of the pollen filters.

Download the factory service manual(Helms), it is shown there, Honda calls it a transistor pack

Same happened to me, and they're right about it being the transistor under the blower.

See my thread from a few months back right here (http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?60126-Help!!-Interior-fan-just-stopped-working).

You need part #4 listed on this page! (http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=CIVIC&catcgry2=2002&catcgry3=3DR+SI&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=HEATER+BLOWER)

It also helps to take a look at the EP3 service manual, which is right here (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/431041/Honda%20Civic%20EP3%20Service%20Manual.PDF), or right here (http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?62770-EP3-helms-man.-for-free).
