I'll assume you mean the blower for the HVAC system.
Check Fuses F37 & F23 in the under dash fuse panel. Check blower relay, same panel.
Verify the relay energizes when the heater mode switch is moved to any position other than OFF with the ignition switch in RUN. You should be able to feel the relay click with your fingertip if it energizes.
If it energizes, measure the DC voltage (relative to ground) on both terminals of the blower motor connector. Let me know what reading you get.

Resistor pack can't cause a "no blower" condition.
You can remove the pack and you'll still have the blower operating at high speed on the HIGH setting.

Ok I check the fuse 23 and replaced it didnt help, I checked the blower relay and heard and felt it click so thats working. Now how do I check the blower itself.
Much Thanks, Deshaun

..or remove the blower and hot wire to the battery. If it works, you know it is not the blower. But I suspect you will see some melted wires or connectors near the resistor when you are at that point.

ok I just test the connection going to the blower with DCV setting at 20v the connection came up as an 12.18 with the key turn on the run position with the blower on. Is this good.

Wire connection is good. Now test the blower motor.
