So she took the motor for the heater out.."fixed it" and when she turned it on in the house it gave off heat..she put it back in her Jeep..but now it isnt working. What could be wrong with it?

Interesting - how you turn it on in the house? Have a 12volt battery on the kitchen table?...lol...just kidding
Checked your fuses, relays?
Get an volt/ohm (multi-) meter and see if the wires in the Jeep are supplying any power to the heater. If not, then you have to check the switch. See if there is power going into and out of the switch. If power is getting past the switch, then guess what - check the wiring from switch to heater.
Think of electricity like water flowing thru a pipe - you have to find where the "blockage" is.
And - kudos to your sister for being able to get the heater out.

The blower is one thing and when testing it outside of the car, you are bypassing one important electrical component, the rheostat. This is a regulator/resistor that controls the amount of electricity going to the blower and therefor the amount of airflow. If you hadno problem R/R the blower, you should have no problem with this. Nice to see a gal get under the hood, so to speak.
Edit: I agree with Lonnie. ;-)

Judging from your picture, I would suggest having you ride in the jeep with her. Your hot enough to make it sweltering in there! Lol. Most likely a fuse or ground problem.
