Default heater issues

the heater blower motor in my vette has never worked and since i have to drive it all this week, i wanted some comfort. i tried to jumper it out with a wire from the alt to the positive terminal. it didn't spin. i checked the ground and it was good. i also tried making a new ground, no joy. i guess the blower is gone. what do you think? did i do something wrong?

If you checked the ground, ran a parallel ground, and brought 12V to the blower and it didn't run it IS shot.

Just be very sure of your grounds and be certain that your live is hot. You can check both by using a light to your blower ground and the plus 12V wire.
