My dad's blower motor just stopped working overnight. I tried everything I can think of but still no go. I'd appreciate some help. I'll list everything I've tried.
First I checked all fuses and relays, they all looked good but we just replaced them anyways. I tested around with the multi-meter. No power is getting to the blower. I unplugged it put the meter on the plug cycled the fan switch it gets no reading at all. Under the hood there is a 65A fuse for the front blower that's getting 12 volts. Under the dash are 2 20a fuses for the front blower and they aren't getting anything either. So i'm guessing the problem is between the under the hood fuse box and the one inside under the dash maybe? I also replaced the blower motor resistor just to be safe, still nothing. The only thing I haven't tried was the fan switch to see if it's getting any power. I lost daylight so I might give that a shot tomorrow.
Thanks, any ideas to try would be appreciated.

Welcome to NICO!
Sounds like you followed just about every logical path. It might be time to grab a new blower motor from the junk yard to see if it works. If not, you've got a bigger problem on your hands.
Also take a peek at the FSM link in my signature for your year and model. It'll help you out and give you some more ideas. Good luck! Let us know what fixed it if you get it right!

Re: 1996 blower motor stopped working.
- I would start with: find the connector at the blower motor and measure the brown and white terminal. It should give you 10 volts at any position of fan switch (except OFF) with ignition key at ON position. If there is nothing there, then you may have problem in the circuit from fuse panel to blower relay to the blower motor.

Re: 1996 blower motor stopped working.
I think you did a very good job troubleshooting,
I believe your right on the money since neither
20 amp fuses are getting power. I would check
To see if there are any connectors from the 65
Amp fuse to the inside fuse panel that possibly
Failed. Good luck and please let us know what
You found.
