Default 2009 front blower not working

I watched a couple of youtube videos that led me to replace the resistor but that did not fix the problem.

Buy a new blower motor. $30 and easy to replace.

Why did you buy the resistor? Can you check to see if you have power/voltage going to the blower motor?

from my experience if the blower works on low or med but not high then its the resistor if it doesnt work at all its prob the motor. one simple way to check this out is to buy a new motor and just plug it in and see if it works. im not sure how to test for power with a multimeter but if i had it in front of me i dont see how it would be too hard to figure out
