Default no blower motor

I have a 2004 explorer and the blower does not work. All fuses seem to be ok. Took the blower out and it works fine. Any suggestions.
thanks

Start checking from the blower relay in the fuse panel. Either the relay is questionable or there is an open from the relay to the resistor / blower motor.

Thank you. The relay seems to be ok as I switched it with another relay that is the same and I get the same results. I ordered a blower control switch and a blower resister. Will try that tomorrow. if that does not work the only thing I can figure is power to or from the relay. Would that be a correct assumption?

Usually when the resistor goes south , you will lose certain speeds, but not all. I don't believe the problem is the resistor. Check the wiring under the relay. If you have a test lite or voltmeter check to see if you are getting any power to the resistor when you turn the switch on any speed but hi. Hi is direct from the switch to the blower motor.
Did you check the fuses under the hood also?
Don't overlook the heater/ A/C function switch. It provides the ground for the blower motor relay.

I found the problem to be the heater control switch. Thanks for the advice
