Need help with blower motor

Not necessarily. I've read about others, the gauge would stay at 12h for a range of temperature. Mine was stuck open solid, yet the gauge was at 12. If yours was never changed, for sure it's stuck by now at 14 years old. If the hose is warm 2 minutes after starting the car, it's stuck causing the coolant to flow continuously and never reach the 90C operating temperature.

Last night after driving home for half hour I checked the hoses going into the heater core. The right hose was pretty warm. The left one was not. From what I read both should have same temperature as coolant just passes through it. I am suspecting a clogged heater core.
