Have you checked voltage and ground for blower motor? in the diagram, the top wire at blower motor is voltage. The purple wire, bottom wire from blower motor is ground. You can see blower fuse at the top, hot all the time. The blower motor on/off, different speeds are controlled on the ground circuit. You can take two wire connector loose from blower motor, use both ends of test lite at wiring connector terminals, turn on key, turn on hvac and blower controls, if the lite comes on, you have voltage and ground. If good voltage and ground with no blower action, suspect the blower motor. I couldn't post whole diagram and make it readable. The problem could be almost anywhere, with the wiring? I can only help with testing. good luck
Blower motor control module , maybe. The HVAC control panel sends a PWM - pulse width modulation control .

Heater not working ??? blower motor not moving any air in the system !
Blower motor relay located in the under hood fuse / relay box. Fuse F18 -40 amp - fuse F93 5 amp under hood fuse box . Also has blower motor speed controller that is controlled by the HVAC module . This problem is probably from a bad speed control module . Want to view the wiring diagrams ? Free here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make ,model an engine size .

Doesn't work on any speed ? high - low . Does your's have manual or automatic climate control ?
Don't think a fuse problem , blower motor control processor more then likely .
Blower Motor Control Processor
The blower motor control processor is an interface between the HVAC control module and the blower motor. The blower motor speed control, battery positive voltage, and ground circuits enable the control processor to operate. The HVAC control module provides a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the control processor in order to command the blower motor speed. The processor supplies 12 volts to the blower motor through the blower motor voltage supply circuit. The control processor uses the blower motor ground as a low side control to adjust the blower motor speed.

Do you know how to test electrical circuits with a voltmeter ?
You mean the blower motor stops blowing air , the A/C compressor is still engaged ? The temp gauge shouldn't have anything to do with the blower motor .But stranger things have happened on these systems when they are controlled by a electronic module (BCM )
Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends the temperature data via high speed GMLAN serial data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via low speed GMLAN to the IPC in order to display the engine temperature.
The BCM applies voltage to the blower motor through the HVAC relay. The resistors and the blower motor are in a series circuit. The following list represents the number of resistors in series with the blower motor per particular speed request:
• Low speed--4 resistors
• Medium 1 speed--3 resistors
• Medium 2 speed--2 resistors
When the operator requests High speed, the HVAC control assembly applies ground directly to the blower motor through the high blower motor control circuit.
Do you know anything about automotive serial data communications ? GMLAN Is general motors version of C.A.N controller area network .
Do you know anything about diagnosing automotive electronics ? Using a digital volt ohm meter ? Using wiring diagrams to pin point locations in a electrical circuit for testing ? Do you know what a factory componet location diagram is ? It takes more then looking at fuse's an relays , to see if current is flowing in a electrical circuit .

HVAC Systems - Automatic
Blower Motor Control Processor
The blower motor control processor controls the speed of the blower motor by increasing or decreasing the voltage drop on the ground side of the blower motor. The HVAC control module provides a voltage signal to the blower motor control processor over the blower motor speed control circuit. As the requested blower speed increases, the HVAC control module increases the amount of time that the speed signal is modulated to ground. As the requested blower speed decreases, the HVAC control module decreases the amount of time that the signal is modulated to ground.
HVAC Systems - Manual
Air Speed - Front Control
The blower motor forces outside air into the vehicle's interior. The vehicle operator determines the blower motor's speed when the driver places the blower switch in one of 5 blower speeds. The blower motor will always operate in any switch position other than OFF, as long as the ignition switch is in the RUN position. The blower motor and mode switches are located within the HVAC control module. The blower motor OFF input is connected in series with the HVAC control module by the off blower motor control circuit.
Depending upon the selected speed, power is provided to the blower motor from either the ignition 3 voltage or battery positive voltage circuits from the fuse block. The battery positive voltage circuit only provides power when the High blower switch position is selected. Power and ground are provided to the HVAC control module by the ignition 3 voltage and the ground circuits.
Low Blower Speed
When the Low 1 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the low blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between 4 series resistors, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
Medium Blower Speeds
When the Medium 1 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the medium 1 blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between 3 series resistors, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
When the Medium 2 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the medium 2 blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between 2 series resistors, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
When the Medium 3 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the medium 3 blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between a series resistor, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
High Blower Speed
When the High blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the high blower motor control circuit. The voltage energizes the blower relay, causing the blower motor to be connected directly to the battery positive voltage circuit. The blower motor and blower motor relay are grounded through the ground circuit.
HVAC Control Module
The HVAC control module is a class 2 device that interfaces between the operator and the HVAC system to maintain air temperature and distribution settings. The battery positive voltage circuit provides power that the control module uses for keep alive memory (KAM). If the battery positive voltage circuit loses power, all HVAC DTCs and settings will be erased from KAM. The body control module (BCM), which is the vehicle mode master, provides a device on signal. The control module supports the following features:
There is a relay located in the under hood fuse box , front blower motor relay .Plus a fuse ,fuse #42 40 amp. The relay is controlled by the integrated power module . There are two type systems ,one has a resistor block an the other uses front blower power module .

Under system click on HVAC ,then under subsystem click on HVAC controls . Click the search button then the blue links. I think the difference is a manual or automatic system .
