Default 99 caravan fan control?

I don't have a manual. Is the fan controlled by a fuse and/or a motor?

Switch, fuse, relay, resistor, motor. If I could post a pic large enough for you to read, I could post a wiring diagram.

no switch, no fuse, no resistor.

the fan is controlled by command of the PCM. when the engine temp exceeds 212°, see's A/C request or has an EFI related problem, then the PCM turns on the fan module which turns on the fans.
The fan module (relay) is located in the frame rail below the battery. remove the air cleaner assembly for easy access.

The fan I'm requesting info on is the AC & heat fan that blows air into the van for the passengers. Mine has stopped working.
Thanks,

Oh, that sure would have helped us help you knowing what fan you are asking about.if you have no blower what so ever on any speed, then check for a bad blower motor. if you have only high speed then check resistor block.

Its a 1999 not a 2001.
BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK
REMOVAL
Open hood.
Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable.
Locate and remove the wire connector from the blower resistor block. Block is located at the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle under the wiper module Resistor Block Location
NOTE: It may not necessary to remove the wiper module to access the resistor block.

Using a long flat blade screwdriver, gently push in on drivers side of resistor. Be careful to catch the inner release tang and gently pry outward Resistor Block Removal
WARNING: THE RESISTOR BLOCK MAY BE HOT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE RESISTOR BLOCK IF THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN RUNNING RECENTLY. LET THE SYSTEM COOL DOWN BEFORE REPAIRS ARE INITIATED.

Remove resistor block by inserting a flat blade pry tool on the side of the resistor block and pushing inward. Two guide lines are shown on the right hand edge of the resistor block to help guide the blade position. This will release the clips on the side of the resistor block. Pull resistor block out.
INSTALLATION
For installation, reverse the above procedures. Make sure the "TOP" lettering is on the top of the resistor. The coils on the Resistor Block should not be contacting one another. Before installation, gently separate the coils (with fingers only) if one coil is contacting another.

question was "where is blower located" answer under in the heater box under the glove box.

you've mastered copy and paste shop proceedures but nothing personally describing the solution.
