Blower stopped coming on. I took the blower out, hooked it up to a battery and it kicked right on, so that works. I checked all fuses, replaced the relay and heater control switches inside the car and still nothing. I have no dash board lights on, everything electric or electronic in the car works as it should.
I need help and heat. It is cold out there.

First, confirm there is power to the blower motor resistor (see pic 1). I attached a pic below showing the general. If it does have power, replace the resistor.

Here are directions for replacing the resistor. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
