Default Blower Motor

My blower motor doesn't work. I hook up manifold gauges to do a performance test on the a/c. The high speed for the blower stopped working. I drove it outside and the blower stopped working all together. Its not the blower. I tested that, its fine.

Any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks,
Tyler

its the blower motor resistor. Theres a little plug that goes into the thing and its located on the passenger side under the glovebox. Its a real pain the the a ss to get to. I just let the dealer do because it was only like 60$ and i didnt feel like laying upside down in the passenger seat to do it. Its a common thing on these trucks.

yup sounds like the resistor is bad in yours 20 dollars at the dealer for a new one and 10 min to change it out yourself, not hard at all as long as you have a torx head screwdriver and 2 hands

as said it is above the passenger footwell under the glove box but not all that bad to change
