blower motor, open the hood and run direct power to it to see if it comes on, if it doesn't that is more than likely the problem

no sir, open the hood, it's right behind the washer fluid reservoir, not had to get to at all, then disconnect the plug and a connect 12 volts directly to see if it comes on, also it could be the blower motor resistor thingy (don't remember the actual name) this is under the dash on the passenger, i think it's called the BCM, it could be corroded. try the easier of the two and work to the hardest
