I have a problem with the blower motor not running, there is 12 volts present at the end of the wiring harness that goes to the blower motor, the blower motot is not the problem as i have already tried replacing that. It does not matter if heat or cool is selected from the switch or does it matter if the control switch is on low or high speed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Donald

Check and test the blower motor relay and the resistor

Could It be the switch? I checked the relay and it was fine. I have not checked the resistor yet. Thanks
