Could you post a little more detail?

Is it not blowing at all? Just on high or low? Blowing only out of the defrost?

First place would be to check the fuses...

Pull dash panel and remove the heater-A/C controls.
Check the wiring to the fan switch.

The switched have a tendency to melt and or short out.
It will be very obvious when you pull the unit out, there will be bubbled plastic pushing out of the wire "ports" of the connector.

I have replaced wiring and switches on 3 Cherokees so far.
