Default Blower motor

I was driving home from work turned a/c on it was running but it seemed to not be turning as fast as usual. But I kept going to my destination and I turned the car off. Went in the store came back out and the blower motor would not come back on. So I turned the fan speed on high. Then I smelled a burnt motor smell.can someone help with the fuse location for the blower motor and relay location. I want to check everything before I install a new blower motor thanks in advance.

If you smelled burning electronics, you have to replace the motor. I do not believe, failing/failed fuses or relays would cause burning smell unless you are overloading the circuit which usually due to a load pulling too much current like a seizing/seized motor.

True but I kept trying to make it run so I just want to know we’re everything is. Just incase I blew the fuse.

The easiest check would be to remove the cabin air filter reach in and spin the blower motor. See if it makes noise or is siezed.

Please google the procedure for replacing the cabin air filter, you don't want to bust your recirculation door mechanism. (You don't lift it by hand)
