My front blower motor stopped working one day and fuses, relay, and blower motor test okay. However, when you turn the control and nothing happens.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

First, have you checked the blower motor resister? I have attached a picture if it's location for you to check. If the resister is good as well as all the components you mentioned, it should run unless there is an open in the circuit (broken wire or disconnected so that power cannot flow).

With that being said, I will need you to check for power to the motor itself. I have attached a picture of the motor assembly. I have no idea of your ability, but if you need to review basic wiring and testing information, review these links:

The third picture is that of the blower motor connector. Make sure when you check if it runs when applying direct power to it, you follow the schematic I provided.

Now, if there is power to the blower motor and it does not run, either the motor is bad or you have no ground. Confirm continuity using the motor ground and a ground location on the vehicle.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
