Default Not your average a/c heat issue

I have a 1996 dodge ram 1500. I have no power to make the unit itself work. I switch the zones or the ac/heat section. Nothing come out. No noise or anything. Almost as if something isn't plugged in. But I don't know for sure. I don't know what's wrong with it. I've replaced fuses, nothing. I've had the blower stat replaced and a relay and still got nothing. I would realy appreciate any thoughts on what else this issue could be. It's not a big one for me since I live in Georgia but it does sometimes get cold enough wear I'm uncomfortable without heat and need it to defrost my windshield. Thank you for help in advanced!

You have to check for power going to the blower motor. if you have power, then most likely the blower motor is shot.

Pick of the connector? Doesn't go to the resistor block does it?

Are you getting power TO the blower motor? (as I recall, switch provides ground path.)

The blower motor resistor only has 3 or 4 wires. So a pic of said plug is in order.
