You need to turn the key on and the blower fan switch on and check for power at blower motor wires to eliminate the motor,if no power check the resistor for power,the blower motor wires plug into the resistor

If things aren't running, about the best way to check the resistors is to find them and remove them... A visual inspection should tell you alot. Resistor wires that look like they have bubbled, scorched or cracked are a sure sign of failure. What is odd though is that typically if the resistor is the defective part, high speed will still work since it usually bypasses the resistor and goes direct to the fan motor... hmmm.
About the only issue I've run into with blower motors is that the brushes will wear down to nothing and there's no way of applying power to the motor. But the only vehicles I've ever encountered that on were really old. Unless Buick put in some real trash brushes, I can't imagine a person being able to run the blower long enough in 4-5 years to cause them to be eaten up like that.
I hope things work out for you.

'94 Silverado heat/ac fan not blowing. Hear clicking when selecting l,m, and high but not blowing

94 CHEVY Silverado ????,heat/ac fan not blowing. K1500?????? Hear clicking when selecting l'm, SET high but not blowing! WITH AIR OR NO A/C? FIRST IS FUSES, MAKE SURE THE BLOWER FUSE IS NOT BLOWN.
EASY NO? CHECK ALL FUSES FIRST. ON ALL ELECTRICS FAILING OF ANY KIND.
BAD FUSE, BAD WIRINIG , BAD CONNECTIONS. OR EVEN BAD RELAYS TO THE BLOWER OR BAD SWITCH BLOW.
THE OLD CARS , HAD A SPEED BLOW , RESISTOR BLOCK
THAT FAILS ON ALL SPEEDS BUT HIGH, SO ITS NOT THAT.
OWN A VOLT METER????
HERE IT IS, ANY OF THIS CAN FAIL THIS OLD
WE USES A VOLTMETER TO FIND THE POINT OF FAILURE.
A SHORTED BLOWER MOTOR CAN BLOW LEFT SIDE TOP
FUSABLE LINK.RIGHT FUSE BLOWN MAKES THE CONTROLLER DEAD.

Test for current to motor. If none you have either a bad fuse, bad switch or bad wiring. Nothing else left.

The heater blower motor on a '92 transport has been replaced but quit working again. Is there a resistor that has possibly gone bad? And if so where is it located?

THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR CONTROLS ALL SPEEDS EXCEPT HIGH . IF IT DOESN'T WORK ON ANY SPEED, IT MUST BE A BAD MOTOR, OR BAD FUSE OR A BAD SWITCH. IF YOU HAVE HIGH ONLY, THE RESISTOR MAY BE THE PROBLEM & IS PROBABLY UNDER THE DASH, NEAR THE BLOWER MOTOR.

My 2004 grand marque's blower motor stoped working is it the blower motor relay or the resister?

If 1, 2 & 3rd speed not working, it is resistor (assuming you don't have EATC). High speed will work if fuse is ok and resistor is burned.
EATC = Electronci Auto Tem,p Control (Digital)

HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE BLOWER MOTOR CAN CAUSE YOUR PROBLEM, OR A BAD RESISTOR.
THERE IS NO REAL GOOD WAY TO CHECK THE RESISTANCE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR.
