How do I do that the chilton book doesnt show how to test it.

Well thanks for all the help, so I tested the blower to find out its dead, so going to check the resistor.

The resistor is good so it's a bad blower.

Did you measure the voltage at BOTH terminals of the blower as I previously suggested?
If you had 12.18 volts on BOTH terminals, then the problem is not the blower, but is an open to ground, most likely the blower speed selector switch.
If you measured 12.18 VDC on one of the terminals and 0 Vdc on the other, then the blower motor is open-circuited.

Yeah I did get a measurement of 12.18 VDC from the connector that goes to the blower, but the other guy told me to switch it to ohm and check the blower itself and kept an infinite number(never showed zero).

"The other guy" is now asking, Are you sure you tested the blower correctly? Maybe you should hot wire the blower to the battery to confirm if the blower works.
