The blower motor on my truck is not working at any speeds. This is on both heat and a/c. So far, I have determined there is power at both the blower motor and resistor. I have also bench tested the motor. It seems to be just fine. I was able to figure out that there is no ground at the motor. Where do I begin looking for my loss of ground issue? Can the resistor cause this?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

Using a test light put the ground side clip to blower motor plug then touch test light to dash area that is metal. If the blower starts then the ground problem is either in switch/control and or the ground wire in center of dash.

Thanks. I will give that a shot.
I absolutely hate electrical problems. And I teach an electrical college course.
