I would test the blower motor before trying to replace it. Find the wires going to the motor (should be right over the front passengers feet) and put power to it and see if it works. If it doesn't, you need to get the heater assembly out to replace the motor.
I had the same problem in my '94 YJ. They stretch the wires pretty tight from the controls to the blower motor, and at some point they had worn through and caused a short. I'd check the wiring from the controls to the motor first. Yeah, getting the blower out of a YJ sucks.....I started to go that way but quit when I saw how involved it was going to be.

Let us know what you find out.
