So I tested with an ohmmeter, and the one that is currently in the truck registered null. The old one that was in the truck showed 0, but not .4 ohm.

Well it beeped, so there's no resistance, but should seeing as it is a coil motor. So it's shorted somewhere in the motor?

Yea first thing I'd do is change that ground wire. It may look good but why else would a motor go out?a weak ground will cause the motor windings to heat and short

Alright, the plug on the one above was too wonky and the motor I pulled from the junkyard popped and I got my money back. Went to Advance and picked one up for $25. Also noticed I posted in the wrong section, sorry about that.
Finally got it going though, with some future knowledge. Thanks for all the help!!!!!!

i get nothing when i turn my blower on, nothing . i looked under the dash and the fuse was blown, ok cool i thought... replaced the fuse, still nothing. smh ... theres a big red wire that looks rigged going up under the dash and to the hi/lo switch, but the other end just goes into the engine bay and stops. Ill add the no heater issue to my growing list of things my truck needs fixin lol ill take some pics tomorrow, maybe someone will notice a wire unplugged and that will fix it, i hope!
