Bizarre combination of issues after my accident
I really would appreciate any and all help on this one as I am stumped.
Long story short, someone pulled out of a parking lot and t-boned me right at my rear tire, snapping my leaf at the hangar. It was completely her fault so insurance covered the cost of damage. The body shop replaced the leaf springs as well as all of the damage that occurred to the bed and it looks awesome.
After leaving the body shop,
1. I had no AC. As in the blower motor was completely not working at all.
2. The truck would not idle at all and was stalling at every stoplight on the way home.
Both of these issues were nonexistent before the body shop.
I have already checked both the AC and the blower motor fuses and they are both fine. The blower relay also clicks just fine when passing current through it. I just cleaned the battery terminals for the heck of it to no avail.
As far as the 2nd problem, I have check for vacuum leaks and made sure all of the hoses were plugged in as they should be and can't find anything.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

After continuing then search, I have solved my issue. For some reason the ignition fuse was blown (the 7.5a one behind the driver kick panel). As soon as I replaced that and restarted the truck, the blower motor was back to normal as well as the idle. I have absolutely no idea why that fuse caused the truck to stumble like it had a huge vacuum leak, but all is well in the end.
