I am sure you have checked your fuses, how about your strip fuse? A new strip fuse might fix it for the short term, then try to find out why it blew.

All serious...So the fan does not work at all? There is a separate fuse for the blower motor outside the fuse box. If all the fuses are fine, the regulator or the motor itself could be dead. Its semi-common and a somewhat big job to replace.

It should be under a small black cover near the strut mount.

Thank you ps2cho, If there is power on both sides of that fuse does that go directly to the blower motor or then on to the switch inside? How can I troubleshoot the motor without taking it out?
