Default 2016 Suburban LTZ no power to blower motor

Hey yal my blower stopped working up front-rear works fine.

Checked the fuse on the passenger side- along with just about every fuse in the drive side and engine bay. They all tested fine for continuity.
I currently have no power to the blower.Checked the negative and positive leads on the cable going to blower with a DMM as well as the connection on the rail.( there is a short run where the hot goes into a connector then up in the dash out of sight-hooked hot end to DMM and grounded other end to vehicle to test)

It has no resistor which I wasn’t aware of until after I looked for it for 2 hours.

I can here the vents open and close when I change directional settings. I can also hear something actuating when I turn the power on to HVAC unit up front. But still no power.


That’s all I got.

Any help would be appreciated. Chevy wants to charge 120$ just to look at it.

what I would do is (only do this when you know you'll have access to the car all day and you are also free all day) go to AutoZone and buy a blower motor. install it, see if it works. if it doesn't work take it back and you'll get your money back and you are dealing with a bigger problem. if it does work, then it was the blower motor it self.

He stated no power to the blower motor, so not the motor.

Spend $20 at alldata for a one month access to a real shop manual so you can properly diagnose it.
