Default 98 Cherokee classic ac blower

so i have a 98 jeep cherokee classic that is having some A/C issues. It was working just fine one day, and the next day when i turn the a/c on, the compressor kicks on for a second but does not activate the blower. I checked the fuses, and relays in the engine compartment which all work. The fuses in the panel on the driver side footwell however most of them do not have power going to them. the fuses are good, but not getting any power. Any thoughts?

It is most likely the fan resistor. If the resistor goes out, it will not provide power to the fan, and in the case of many TJs, can actually cause a nice melt-down.

when checking the fuses did you check them to see if they have power with the key "on"? i'm guessing resistor and/or motor as well
