Check blower motor !!

disconnect the wiring plug at the blower motor
with key ON heater switch on high
check at the plug(blower motor wiring harness plug ) for battery power on one wire and for ground on the other wire
if you have both remove and replace the motor
if missing power check wiring fuses and ignition switch
if no ground check and replace blower motor speed resister
good luck
