Hi yeah you could have leaves in there actually there could be debris from the street like leaves and stuff like that could be trapped in there in a could have burned out the motor or it's just that you need to replace the motor the which is usually an assembly where you get the motor and the fan called the squirrel cage together I recommend replacing both of those or at least the motor and should be good to go after that you can at least open up the case and see if you can access the motor and the squirrel cage and see what's going on it's usually underneath the dash on the passenger side good luck with that.
