Heater Doesn't Blow...

My heater just stopped blowing. I changed the blower motor & that didn't work, I changed the control panel & that didn't work. I put a meter on the connection to the blower motor & it's not getting juice... The fuse box is a little confusing to me, there is a circuit breaker in there instead of a fuse... I'm lost can anyone offer some suggestions? BTW it's REALLY COLD where I live!!!!!

The circuit breaker can be pushed and reset. The resistor may be bad. Easy to fix. It is to the left of the motor, has two elctrical connectors and is secured by 2 bolts.

Yep,the resistor went bad on my '97.I think it only costs about $12.00 or $13.00 for the part.The heater suddenly just stopped blowing.

On 96 and earlier models the circuit breaker is directly above the fuse panel. On 97 and later models it is on the top on the left hand side. There's a reset button you could possibly get with a screwdriver. Otherwise you will have to take the panel off.
