Blower motor issues

Ok y’all need some help. I have a 78 f150 4x4 that the blower motor ain’t working. I changed the resistor to no affect now thinking it’s the relay for the blower motor but I can’t find the damn thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have AC, or just heat? Mine is heat only. Just a 35 amp fuse. I had problems with mine and finally figured out the fuse socket had gotten sloppy loose. I've never really fixed it. It's kind of a Fonzy fix...Instead of hitting the juke box, I slam the clutch to the firewall and the blower starts working again. No Charge

Mine has factory ac and as long as I’m moving it’ll blow thru the vents or defrost wherever I have it set. But the blower won’t blow at idle or any speed

there is no blower motor relay on your truck. as previously mentioned, make sure you have power making it through the fuse...then to the AC mode switch...once you move the ac lever from off, it should send 12 volts to the fan speed switch...from there, the power goes to the resistor....then on to the motor (with the exception of high, then the blower resistor is completely bypassed...

Factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater, the A/C controls are in the same panel as the heater controls.

HUGE evaporator case located at the right rear corner of the engine compartment.
