Hey guys,
I started my car yesterday and the blower wouldn't turn on, I changed the fuse, still no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try checking to see if the motor is still good. Could of blown dead and not work any more.

It's an 81 with a 305 if that helps

Alright thanks, how will I know if it's dead? Turn it on and feel if its moving?

its like 14$ at oreillys for the motor, should take you about 5 minutes to put the new one in. i changed one out in my old 81 awhile back. they always go out when its the most extreme of temperatures it seems like.29 years is a pretty good run time. if you have a haynes manual it should show the steps to replace. if not its on the passengers side of the motor sitting on top of the box connected to the fire wall by like 5 screws? just take the old plastic fan off the old one and put it on the new motor you buy.

I also suspect the blower motor, as 229meano says it's a relatively cheap fix, good luck!

Check the ground wire at the motor.
