    you try swapping the blower motor resistor yet? or test for power at the fan plug as well. check your fuses if not done already.

    so you have power at the plug for the fan?

    and you should have a blower motor resistor, its located behind the fan.

    you did have the key turned to run and the fan turned to any speed right? if so, test for power before the resistor.

    You have a blower motor resistor. I have digital HVAC controls too and I have a resistor. Whomever told you that you don't doesn't know what they are talking about. The plug that plugs into your blower fan is connected to the resistor. Replace that box and you will be in business.

    Sometimes they are called reostats. You can tell when one is starting to go out on you only have one or two fan speeds. Replace this and you should be in business.
