Default Heater won't work

I just bought this dodge and the ac/heater won't work at all. When I turn on my heater the fan won't actually come on. I replaced the fan and the resistor and checked the Fuzes. How do I fix this issue without costing me an arm and a leg?

But no matter what I goggle for the answer it's either an answer for a different issue or a completely different vehicle.

You can find wiring diagrams for your truck here. Follow the power, start at the blower motor, see if you have power there, go from there.

Moving this to third gen ram section for ya.

Yeah that don't really help my issue when I can't get to the wiring to see what's wrong with it. I was told that there was a Fuze box behind the glove box but it appears that ain't true.

You should be able to download an owners manual for your truck from Chrysler. That will tell you where all your fuses are. (I think they are in the TIPM, under the hood.) No idea if there is a fuse block inside the truck, but, it should be relatively easy to access, once you know where it is.

No matter what, you need to find out where the problem is, and you are going to have to do that by finding out where you are losing power. That's where the wiring diagrams come in. If you want to try and fix it just by throwing parts at it, you would be better off taking it to a shop, and having them fix it. It will end up costing you less in the end that way.....
