the blower motor speeds are controlled by the switch itself and the blower motor resistor.The resistor only handles the first three speeds while the high speed does not go through it .It goes directly from the switch to the blower motor.When the motor is not running check if it does not work at all or only in high speed.If it does not work at any speed suspect the blower motor ,.(most common case roughly a $200.00 repair)as well as the connector.If it works only in high speed look at your blower motor resistor.

look in the owners manual ,under fuses. find the fuse location for the blower motor,then check the fuse for the A/C-Heater blower motor first.

Thankyou. I will do that. But every now and then it will work for a little while. Thats why i have not looked at the fuses. But i will check them.

you're welcome...possible blower motor resistor burnt? possible connector problem on the resistor/blower motor? possible fuse not pushed in all the way?check the blower motor connector/and resistor connector also,may be melted?
