Probably one of three things, first check the fuse or breaker, two check the fan motor itself, apply 12 volts to the fan plug see if it works, three, could be the resistor block is bad.. check one and two first.. the fan motor is not hard to access, if you had a repair manual of some type..

Suggested Repair

Check the blower fuse or circuit breaker and the blower motor first, then the resistor block if needed. The shop confirmed the failed blower motor was the cause and replaced it.

Conversation Summary

A 2002 Ford Taurus owner reported that the manual interior fan controls for air conditioning, heat, and defrost did not work at all. The expert suggested checking the fuse or breaker, testing the blower motor with 12 volts, and considering a bad resistor block. The owner took the car to a shop, which found the blower motor had failed.
