Solved the issue. My blower was not working at all so I wasn't sure what exactly it was until I removed the blower itself. In my 1998 Mercedes C230 (W202) the blower is located on the passenger’s side just below the dash board.
1. Remove the passenger vent cover located under the passenger dash and to the left next to the center consol.
1.1. There is a plastic Phillips head screw you turn 1/4 counterclockwise and pull out the vent cover.
2. Remove the three Phillip’s screws located at the bottom of the passenger dashboard.
2.1. This will allow you to drop the dashboard cover by pulling down and then out
3. Once in there you'll see the blower motor cover, notice two white plastic tabs. Before you move the tabs be sure to unplug the blower motor wiring harness.
3.1. Move these tabs and pull down and out on the blower motor cover. This is located nearest the outside of the vehicle.
4. Next there will be four Phillip’s screws holding the blower motor in just unscrew them and the blower motor drops out.
At this point if you have power coming into the wiring harness, you can check this with a volt meter than it's your blower motor.
In my case I had the car in storage for 6 months and the motor had stopped moving. I just had to apply some force to get it to spin freely again. I used WD40 to help grease it. And the rest is history.
Hope this helps you out.

you will need to get a scan tool to scan your heater control heal. the bravada heat/ac controls are computerized and runs through the BCM. but most likely the control head is bad
the cab heater fan?, there can be 4 fans on some cars. front condenser, 2 on rad, and 1 in cab heater box. the cab fan? does it fail on high too? it has a switch, (marked fan speed) the switch is bad ,if low speed are dead. and high are good. or wiring to it , the motor or the fuse. even a cracked fuse, change the fan fuse to a new fuse.
old post, you mean the fan is dead. yes, if dead on high , bad fuse. if fuse is good, then bad switch or fan. if dead on only lower speeds, bad fan resistor 100% coverage here. (just 4 parts) http://www.fixkick.com/AirCond/heater.html
Is the engine getting to operating temp? If the t-stat is stuck open, engine will not heat up and neither will the heater, gets lukewarm. Or is it a door problem in the HVAC plenum? Go to www.heatertreater.net for solutions.
heater speed switch in passenger side in foot area above toes in heater box one wire plug on it 2- 5-6 mm screws hold it in that is your fan speed switch they are a common issue it is the season for those now usually you loose 1 speed at a time until nothing don't be caught with out that not working at all you windows will fog bad!!!!and no heat period.
heater core may be clogged. disconnect the hoses. CUT THEM OFF THE HEATER CORE!!!! If you pull them you may damage the solder joints at the tubes causing a leak. Them connect a garden hose and flush one way then another till water runs clear.
The heater fan is located under the plastic panel at the bottom of the windscreen. To change it start off by lifting the bonnet until it's completely vertical (lift it open then press the "Tabs" on the bonnet hinges), next pull off the rubber seal that runs across the bulkhead. Undo the x head screws that secure the plastic panel, there are also 2 white plastic clips which just pullout towards the engine (they may have aleady been lost if the cars ever had a new wiper motor fitted). Once the the plasic panel is out of the way, remove the wiper mechanism and below it you will see a curved black plasic panel. The heater motor is below that. It's held by 3X 7mm bolts on the left side. Good luck!
