Default AC/heater blower issue

So I need a little bit of help from those more experienced than myself.

My ac stopped blowing air. No hot no cold. No moving air. Blower issue. Done. Now, checked the fuses and they’re blown. Sweet. Replaced the two fuses and they blew immediately after turning the blower back on. Any suggestions on the next troubleshooting step? My plan was to disconnect the blower completely, try new fuses and see if they blow. If they do: wiring / relay issue. If not: possible blower motor failure.

Am I on the right track or is there something simple I’m overlooking? Thanks in advance.

Disconnecting the blower and/or relay(s) would be one of my first steps. If that doesn't pan out, download the FSM and peruse the electrical drawings.

Like SouthArk said, disconnect the blower BEFORE putting new fuses in. It sounds like the blower motor is locked up. It should be located under the passenger side dash.

You might want to replace/install a cabin air filter. That will prevent/slow down the failure of the blower motor, since it will catch the crap that would normally fall onto the motor.
