Default 00 Blower motor not working **I’ve read through threads**

Hey all,

So bringing you all another blower motor help request! I have read through many threads, replaced parts, and done some troubleshooting.

Symptoms: no blower at any speed

New parts: new blower motor, resistor, swapped
control unit, swapped relay,

Checked: fuses 6, 25 and the 40A under hood, wiggled wires and connectors

No indication of burnt wires or connectors. I think I’ve covered all the components up to each specific wire..
I will say that I removed the faulty blend door actuator, made it manual, and it’s connector is not plugged in. But, the blower had worked since doing this.

Now I’m not too knowledgeable about more in depth testing, say with a multimeter, and don’t know where to start.

Am I missing anything? Appreciate the help- Winter is coming..

What year?

It would be good to verify if the motor is actually getting any power. A simple multimeter can be used to test on the wiring leading to the motor.

Do you have a multimeter (I know you said you're not good with it but we can talk you through it)?

Edit: just seen the title again, a '00

Hey Roler, Appreciate the reply,

Well, I have a multimeter, but ya, have a bit to learn. I do believe I have power at the connector for the blower itself, I was able to read that. Came up with around 12V for both leads?I didn’t set any dependent variables when taking the reading.

X2 on troubleshooting with a meter instead of throwing parts at it. If that was with it plugged in, I'd say you have a bad ground to the blower motor.
