08 Lariat Climate Control stopped

Newly acquired 2008 Lariat with high mileage (175k) but in great shape.

Climate Control suddenly stopped yesterday afternoon at 105 degree heat.
Not too bad as long as moving but rush hour traffic in Phoenix made for an uncomfortable ride home.

From what I have been able to determine from internet and owner's manual it might be fuse # F13; at least that is my hope.

Any ideas if that is not it? I have a pretty good service tech that I trust but like to try to diagnose problems before I go see him.

This is my first Ford as I have been using European vehicles for many years but finally fell in love with this truck and really like it so far.

What stopped? Is the fan dead in all positions? Or is it just blowing warm air?

I took it to my mechanic who diagnosed that the aftermarket blower motor had failed. $272.70 later all is well again. Replaced with another aftermarket blower motor since that part carried a 2 year warranty vs 1 year for the Ford part. Labor is also warranted for 2 years.
This truck is a keeper - daily driver - and I do not mind paying to keep the a/c working in Arizona.
