Default help !!! no blower fan on my 1969 vette

Help please. I can not get my heater and a/c fan to work at all in any setting. I tested the fan and it works but not with the switch. I did order a new cut out relay to try. thanks

Make sure the fan case is grounded

The relay is for high only,check for power in and out of the resistors on the ac evap core.

Thanks Roger, I must tell you that although I am pretty good at mechanical issues, I don't where to even find the resistors on the a/c core. I will try to research more. Tks again. Jim

Here is the AC schematic on your car...

Go to the resistor on the firewall and test for power. This connector should have light green, dark blue and light blue and yellow wires in the connector.

The dark blue wire (1 at the resistor is ouput voltage) carries power from the resistor to the blower motor.

So with the blower on any speed but high, test for voltage on the dark blue wire with the connector plugged in. If you have voltage the issue is from there to the blower motor. If you don't then pull the connector off test for voltage on any of the other three wires... (with the switch in any position but high). There should be 12 volts present on one of these three wires based on the position of the switch in the dash. If no voltage the issue is inside the car. The power hits this resistor on three different wires when not running on high. Each wire picks up a different resistance inside the resistor which gives you multiple speeds.

High blower speed is direct on the other dark blue wire... It runs from the blower switch inside the car to the 2 position on the high blower relay. Usually if there is a problem in the relay or a connection problem at the relay you'll lose high speed but maintain the others.

Roger, I got all speeds working except high. Hoping the new cut out relay will solve that. Thanks a million! Jim

On the bottom left of post 7, Willcox shows a "in line" fuse (30 amp) did you check that it is good?

the only in line fuse that I see is on the drivers side (red wire) by the washer bag. It is good. Tks
