This is the third time my heater fan motor won't run. I have replaced the K14 Transistor 97179-1F200 two times and now a year later it stopped working again last night.
Have you replace the heater blower motor? It sounds like it is shorted.

Rule of thumb...unless you get a better answer: look for a couple of wires on a small plate that is in the airflow of the fan on the heater/ac unit. The resistor pack is always air cooled by the fan.

Locate the motor, check if it is getting voltage when you turn it on, by probing the connectors. Another possiblity besides the motor is the motor control which control its speed. Newer cars usually have an electronic package located by the motor housing. It has a thermal fuse, that sometimes look like a resistor, that blows. and it looks like part of the circuit. Soldering tool is required to replace that. You can also check the motor by hot wiring it, but make sure it is disconnected, and isolated before performing the test. Otherwise you could fry up some electronic device.
Testimonial: "It was very informative and did help me understand the system better than I did. In this case, I only had a loose connection which you helped me find."
