I live in buffalo, ny which as you should know, about this time of the year is COLD. my blower motor worked all summer and i had no ac so i had no use for it i went to use it for the first cool day and it took a dump on me. no big deal ive replaced one on a crown vic once before i thoguht it should be a cake walk. i bought the new one and after a month got around to trying to installing it today. i got the old one out and off, put the new one in and spliced the wires and reconnected the connector and the hose and the vacuum line and it doesnt work. what did i do wrong? is it in place wrong is there a common mistake i could have fallen victim to? ive been dealing with the cold ok but not being able to defrost my windows is downright dangerous and a nuisance!

bwahhaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaa, your common mistake you fell victim to was not troubleshooting the system properly to narrow it down to a faulty component, you assumed it had a bad blower motor, get a diagram and go point to point in the system, check fuses and test switch and blower motor resistor
