Not sure if i am putting this in the right section, but i'm having trouble with my blower motor. it ain't working on any setting. I just had the motor replaced a month ago. Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?

The motor resistor is my guess. It is like a $20 part. take the glove box off and you will see it in the top left area back there. Two 7mm? I think bolts to get it out. pretty easy really and I hope you have small hands to get in there.

if you don't mind, would you post some direction on how to go about doing it? Or atleast get me a link to some directions on it. i don't wanna screw something up.
1) get the new resistor
2) take off the glovebox
3) unplug the resistor (plug on top)
4) un bolt it, two screws
5) remove the old one
6) slowly and carefully put the new on in, it will fit you may have to slightly bend the coils...a little
7)screw it back in place
8) plug it back in and test it out.
When you see it you will understand how easy it is.

Sorry about reviving an old thread but I'm having the same issue. I have no fan at any speed setting. I already replaced the blower resistor and nothing. I replaced the fan switch and still nothing. The only thing I have left to replace is the blower motor itself. I am getting around 5 volts or so on the lower speeds and almost 12 volts at the highest speed. And I am getting no voltage on the ground wire from the blower motor. I'm thinking that the blower motor is shot but I don't want to spend $50 or $60 and be wrong again. What do you guys think? Any help would be appreciated very much. Thank you.

Ok, so after a little bit more troubleshooting and taking out the blower motor. There was water that dripped into the blower motor housing and froze into the fan blades and that was preventing the fan from spinning. I busted out the ice and hooked it back up and it worked perfectly.
