Blower Motor Dead??

So just out of the blue i go out to my car and start it like normal , go to click on the heat and nothing, i can hear the ac compressor kicking on for the defrost but i have no air blowing, Ive checked fuses and relays to rule them out, Is there anything else i should look for before i purchase a new motor ?
Its manual control on a 2000 Max, Did not clicking sound that was constant when it did work.

blower motor resistor which is located next to blower motor itself, you probably have fan speed 4 only, then its blower motor resistor, if you don't have any fan speeds, more than likely a blower motor.

Had to replace my resistor back in Aug. same thing worked when I drove to work but when I went to go home at the end of the day there was nothing no fan nadda. there are two types of resistors depending on if you have the digital read out display (expensive cost me 151.00 CDN) or the manual display that one lists at 51.00 CDN

If it stops again try tapping on the motor housing. Mine did this and I took fan motor out and applied 3-N-1 oil to shaft bearings. It's been good for a year.

I tried WD-40, and it got worse, blown the blower amplifier after 4 sets of fuses.
