Well, both the wipers and the blower could have a burned out fuse. Of course, they both could have a burned out motor. I would run a hot wire from the battery to the wipers and the blower motor. If they worked, I'd be looking for a fuse or bad switch.
Most likely it would be a blown fuse in the fuse block.
the Bering is going out or something got in the housing
The relay on the heater/blower circuit on a Ford Escort MK6 is probably behind the glove compartment. There are two popular places that Ford puts its heater/blower relay switches. The other place would be next to the blower motor itself.
First guess would be a bad ignition switch.
if there is a lot of snow or ice on these vents located at the bottom of the wind shield under the wipers that could be the problem if you live in a cold environment.
neither,blower resistor or blower module controls fan speeds.
Check the fuses first and the blower relay.
Check your fuses.
Look for a loose or broken wire to the wipers. Also check that they are earthed properly--firmly tightened down. Also look for a loose or broken earth wire. Worst case: It's the wiper switch in the steering wheel cluster. More expensive.
The blower motor is on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is under the glove box at about foot level. Frequently the hot wire that goes to the fan gets hit by someones foot and it makes it short out. Check the hot wire going to the fan motor.
I would suspect the blower motor speed resister is shot.
THERE IS A VAC LINE OFF OR BROKEN REMOVE THE HEATER CONTROL PANLE THEN SET FAN ON LOW AND SEE IF YOU HEAR A HISSING SOUND. I HOPE THIS HELPS
