After four months, I finally have the time to do some troubleshooting. The blower motor was replaced in February this year. The blower worked on low, med 1 and med 2 for a few weeks and then stopped working completely. Not sure if I need to replace the blower motor again but if I do, it has a lifetime warranty.
Just in case it was something else, I followed OM's instructions on testing voltage. I used my multimeter, stuck the positive probe into each connector slot as instructed, grounded the black probe, set the blower switch positions and each position showed 12.13 volts. The black wire showed 1 ohm.
So my question is, is my blower motor bad or is it my harness and resistor. Looking at the connector harness, I noticed the far left part of the connector is burned out and apparently it was fixed in the past with a female spade terminal. Am I headed in the right direction? So, is it the blower motor or resistor. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Unplug the blower resistor/relay pack connector on the front of the evaporator housing, next to the AC accumulator, (large aluminum "can").
At the electrical connector check the following:
Yellow wire must show battery voltage with blower switch in the LOW position.
Tan wire must show battery voltage with blower switch in the MED 1 position.
Light blue wire must show battery voltage with blower switch in the MED 2 position.
Orange wire must show battery voltage with blower switch in the HIGH position.
Red wire must show battery voltage at all times.
Black wire must show less than 5 ohms resistance to ground at all times.
Purple wire goes to the blower motor.
Post your results for each wire.
