Default blower motor bad?

Alright, so I drove my car last night, AC, air in general worked just fine. Get in my car today and no air... Turned the fan all the way up to max and nothing, could feel the cold air to my hand when I cover the vent but it is just ambient, not cooling me down... fairly hot day today. Tried it on full heat, can feel the heat ambient but no fan to move it... Checked all the fuses, every one (including the ones under the drivers side) all check out. So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Car is 98', If I have to replace the blower unit.... How hard and how much? IDK its just weird that it worked just fine the night before and now absolutely nothing! PLEASE HELP!!!!

i dont have a 98 but i have a 94 and my secondary motor did burn out so only the two side and front/rear windsheild defrosters work. i no to reach the secondary motor in my 1st gen is a very big PITA and i dont think it would be located any were more accessible on a 98 (some1 correct me if im wrong on that)

one thing to check which would help with ur diagnosis is when u turn your ac on in the car, do the fans go on in the engine bay?

Just checked, the only fan other than the clutch fan for the radiator is the little one covering what I thought was a tranny cooler but if its AC, awesome, in a not spinning, not working sort of way...
