Default no blower fan where to start?

I checked the #17 fuse but it checks ok. Can I run some juice directly into the fan motor with out hurting it and/or any other items I should check out? Any hints would be great b4 I take my hood off and dash appart

Will it run on top speed? If so its the switch next to the blower motor inside the tunnel. When it fails it only will run on full speed. There a little pricey. If its not running at all on any speed then I'm out....could be a lot of things.

If you don't have a blower fan as it says in your title you should probably start by getting one of those!!! Not the response you were looking for.... Ok, first find the blower fan connector by the windshield. Turn the blower fan on speed 4 and check for 12 volts at the connector with a multimeter. If you see 12 volts there then you know the problem is in the motor. If you don't then you can swap the horn relay with the blower motor relay and the defrost relay. If the motor still refuses to work then you may have a hvac head unit problem. Joe

if the motor is siezed you can drill a 1/4 hole in the fan housing spray in some oil and try to rotate the fan with a long screwdrver that usually brings them back to life there is a rubber cap in the top you can dose oil into also

That's good, just make the hole a little smaller so that you can seal it with a self-tapping screw when you are done. Works - BTDT.
