Jeep Wrangler 2000

This is a stretch trying here, I know. But I'm gonna give it a shot. My 2000 Wrangler has stopped running the blower motor completely. Not only did I replace the blower motor - both tested positive that they work. I also replaced the resistor AGAIN with a much more expensive one. I have now replaced the relay. Still no go. Yes, all fuses are good, wiring is all intact - nothing melted, muffed, etc. I'm at a complete loss here.

Does ANYONE have ANY other ideas to check for? I've searched Jeep forums and contacted all my local garages (which unfortunately, no one local is fully schooled in Wranglers).

It does have a/c - you can hear the juice being pulled from the motor in a/c mode, yet still the blower doesn't run.

I don't want links to jeep forums I've already read, just any new ideas would be appreciated!

Turns out something isn't grounding properly. There was one slot in one of the connectors under the dash that when grounding it to the body, the blower kicked on. It was getting very late last night and I don't have enough lighting in the garage, so we'll get back at it this afternoon.
Basically, we're going to try tapping into it and grounding it, but want to do it safely. It's in the area that no matter how much you tell the youngsters to keep their feet out of there, they still poke their feet around :)
I'll update on exactly what we have to do once it's finally figured out completely. Thanks for everyone's help.

It's the actual heater unit in the dash. Until I can get a replacement, the blower is on a toggle switch grounded to the door stop.

Thank you both for your help. This was one of those "last place you'd look kind of things".
