Heater Fan Problem

Hey guys, sorry for the noob question but I just replaced my heater core and when I went to turn the heat on the fan kicked on for 5 seconds and then died. I checked the fuse and it's fine.

Now the problem is I can't locate the fan! Is it behind the dash or is it mounted under the hood? I can't see a fan behind the dash but I can't see much having to look down through the windshield.

Also any suggestions as to how to go about fixing this will be greatly appreciated.

The fans under the hood mounted to a big black box on the firewall on the passenger side.

Gotta remove the blower motor to reach the cage. Check the pic in the following link:

Thanks guys. I pulled a rats nest the size of a baseball out of the blower motor and another 1/2 ton of grabage from the housing. It's blowing heat like a champ now!
