2005 Winnebago/Workhorse Heater/AC Blower Motor Not Working

In the process of de-winterizing our 2005 Winnebago Voyage 35A on the Workhorse chassis, discovered the the heater blower motor isn't working. The 30A fuse in the relay/fuse box, under the hood, is good, and I have voltage at the right side of the fuse socket. Is there anything else I should be looking at/checking before I go after a new blower motor?
Thanks
  • Access through the door outside and check for loose or corroded spade connections. That's what I found on my '99 Chieftain.

    Before replacing anything, you must establish voltage under load at the motor itself. Then and only then can you say that power is available for running. Keep in mind and for whatever reason (bad relay...etc) you can have voltage available to a unit, but disappears when the load is applied. Consequently, replacing it with a new unit does no good. Had that situation with a friend's slide, most recently (bad ignition relay). Have also seen it on old car headlights due to a bad ground return and a M Benz in this case.
