Blower motor quit

Hello, last night the blower motor just refused to run, I get it torn apart today to find all the fuses, and relays are good, but no power at the switch.. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mine was the motor itself had burned up. After we pulled it out you could smell the burnt brushes. It sounds like you may have a problem with the switch or wiring.... There is a fuse in the bottom of the fues box that controls the heater/a/c functions, it's 15 amp, and is in the very bottom of the face of the fuse box.. It's right next to the turn signal flasher hole.... Good luck, and let me know...

I would honestly try a new blower motor... It was only $45 at Advance Auto..... If its not allowing power to go through it, the switch won't work...

There is a power distrubution box under the hood. The very first 60amp fuse (just above 2 relays) is the blower motor that fuse may have blown.

This is besides the two by the driver's side door?

What else does this 60 amp fuse control?

That points to the resistor, relay, or that fuse under the hood.

That 60amp fuse must control more that just the blower motor?

Where is the resistor or relay located?

In mine (1992 E150 Van) that 60 amp fuse controls the blower motor only... There is a relay that is directly connected to the switch. Under the hood beside and under the brake master cylinder there should be a plastic box labeled "Power Distribution Box" you may need to look in your owners manual for the exact location as I'm sure it's different than mine..
