Answer

blower     Although looking at the fuse is a good idea, when a blower motor stops working it usually means that the motor itself is bad.  First, look in the relay box under the hood.  There will be a chart saying what relay does what.  Locate the blower motor relay, then look around to see if any of the other relays are the same type.  If you find another one, try switching them and check the blower again.  If it works, then the relay was bad and you need to replace it.  If it doesn't, then the motor is probably at fault.  These little motors work pretty hard and it's hard to design one that won't wear out eventually.  The blower motor is on the passenger side under the hood.  I will send a picture.  The picture shows mostly the part inside the air box, but you can see what the outside looks like.  It has the plug-in connector and the motor has a little hose hooked to it that brings in air to cool it.  Changing it is very simple, but it might be hard to get at.  When you take it out, check it with jumper wires to the battery to make sure it is bad.  sometimes stuff gets into the air box and jams the motor, causing it to burn up.  Check inside the box and vacuum it out if necessary before replacing the motor.
