Climate Control
My bonneville has digital climate control and when I turn it on nothing comes out of the vents. No matter what setting I have it on nothing comes out. I did notice once that when it was on and not working it smelled like something was burning coming from the vents.

That would certainly be my guess. I had a similar issue in my GP, where my air/heat would only work on settings 1 and 5. Turned out my blower motor resistor went bad. Not sure if bonneville'* have the same part or not. It was fairly cheap to fix in my case. Getting to it was a different story...

Don't be confused: a dead blower motor may move a tiny amount of air at highway speeds. But if you're changing the fan speeds and getting no more/less air, then you may very well have a dead motor.
To test your maxifuses, grab a multimeter and check for voltage at the blower motor connector. If there is no voltage present, then you have an easier repair; it means that a maxifuse or a relay is kaput.
Otherwise, your blower motor is that bump in the center of your firewall. There'* a fragile plastic cover and vacuum hose over it. A little ratchet work will get everything in and out. You may have to loosen a bracket and remove the strut tower bar if you don't have tiny hands. I did this repair on mine; it'* easy, but you may have to struggle with it (at the GM plant, I think the blower went in before the engine).

On the highway I do feel a little air coming out but when I use the controls and play with the settings nothing happens. I will look to see if I can get to the blower motor to replace it cause it really seems like thats the problem.
