Default AC Issue PLEASE READ

Okay so to start, my AC Compressor is perfectly fine, the AC still seeps through freezing cold, however the blower motor is not running. i have changed the fuse on the drivers side under the dash (somewhere i saw a diagram that had it listed as the #1 30 Amp fuse on that box). I have changed the blower motor. I have cleaned the resistor off (not changed, however the fan does not run on any speed at all). still can't get the air to blow. I'm sure i am missing something here.. so i come to you good people.. thanks

Have you checked for power at the blower motor connector?

Replace the resistor block. It's easy to get to and held in with two screws. It defaults to high but will son fail altogether.

That's step 1. Should've been done before you replaced fuses or the motor.

It's the resistor block on the firewall. Replace it. Cheap and easy fix. I've been through 2.
