Angry fan/blower/switch stopped functioning

just re-installed the heater core, and now the blower is not turning on w/the lever (4 position switch on dash).


what could be wrong.
its a "new" blower, and was working fine before.
is there more than 2 plugs that get that thing going

i want to test the new heat.

i had similar problem, something in that speed selector went in the middle of the winter in my 88pickup, it was minus f$$k off degrees out and i wasnt in the mood for troubleshooting so i took the wires that went to the blower motor off spliced in cigarette light plug to the end and just plugged it into the lighter. Just have to figure out which wires make the blower turn the right way and not suck air instead. The blower motor will be on full mode only, but its better than nothing, afterwards i wired it into a switch and never bothered fixing any further, as when its winter i always had it on full anyways

there should be a plug going to somewhere around your heater box. on the inside of the box its like a resistor looking thing. check it....i know on some other makes they have this, and it has everything to do with your fan.

One thing you may want to check too is the blower relay. It have have gone out on you somehow. That relay should be behind your glove box and cost 17-25 dollars depending upon where you buy it.

Hope that helps
