My car is a 1981 Datsun 280ZX Turbo, 80,000 miles and has a L28 Motor in it. The problem I'm having is with the fan. I made a trip about sixty miles away and back and the heater was working fine, as it always has. I parked it, but when I got in the car the next morning to heat it up before work, the fan didn't come on. Not only did it not come on, but it hasn't come on since then. I'm not sure if it's the blower motor or not, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out, but if it is...where is it located at? I just need to know so I can give it the 12v test. Thanks

Normally the blower motor is on the pax side behind the glove box hidden.

Might be the control switch,fuse/relay,resistor pack and motor. If it was me I'll start at the motor with test lead to hot start it-then go from there.
