I was wondering how much would it be to replace the heater blower motor on my car and also how much the labor costs would be?.

Get estimates from at least three places. That's what I'd do if I weren't willing or able to do it myself.

If you have a socket wrench set, do it yourself. Both the blower motor/fan assembly and the resistor-pack assembly are super-easy to replace on 97 Escorts (underneath the instrument panel, passenger side). First thing is remove the blower motor/fan assembly from your vehicle. Get a 9v battery and a couple of wires and pass current into the motor leads to see if it works. (Don't worry about damaging anything if hookup wrong--there's nothing sensitive inside the motor/fan assembly.) If it works, then buy a new resistor-pack from a Ford Dealer. (Early 1997's did have a problem with the resistor-pack prematurely failing due to moisture buildup. This was fixed by adding a rubber sealing gasket.) If it's the blower/motor fan that's the problem, then buy one from a junkyard. There's no need to buy brand new unless you're planning on keeping the vehicle for 10 years.

Labor and parts costs are completely diff in all areas in the US. Do you have a mechanic? If not, ask around and see if who your friends go to...or do it yourself. Aftermarket parts are cheaper----but some places don't let you bring your own parts. So you really need to shop around.
