99 Jeep Wrangler Blower motor not working?

I have a 99 Jeep wrangelr. 4cyl no A/C. The blower motor does not come on with any setting?

I have removed the blower and hooked it up to the battetry and it spins smoothly.

Using a Multimeter. I also have 12volts at the connection that plugs into the motor when the Dash switch is on and in any position.

I have ready about a recall for this year where the ground wire needs reconnected but i am unsure which wire this is.

Anyone know which wire is the ground wire for this recall? Any Ideas why i have 12 volts at the motor but it doesnt spin? Its seems to me that if the ground is not making a good connection the AMPS may not be sufficient for the motor to spin but i cant figure out a way to test this theory. Could a bad resistor Pack also cause this?

Thoughts?

Update:

Here is the recall Info

Recall 99V117000: Instrument Panel Ground Screws Loose

The left side and right side instrument panel wiring ground attachment

screws could loosen over time. If the left side screw loosens, the

instrument panel gauges may not function when the headlamps are turned

on. If the right side screw loosens, the defroster blower motor may

not function.

Dealers will remove the ground screws, drill a new pilot hole adjacent

to the original hole, and the screws will be reinstalled in the new

holes.

    Yes the blower motor resistor could be the cause of your problem, the jeep part # is 4864957 $43.00 available within a day or tow from your local dealership. I looked at tsb's and recalls for this vehicle and I did not see anything about a ground wire?
