Default Ac/heater Blower Motor

I just replaced the what needed to be replaced on AC and started charging (134a) and found out that the blower motor would not work. I checked the fuse it was OK I have ordered a new relay. My question is is there any where else I need to look for a problem? stupid me ----- this is on a 78

Poor ground or failed speed selector switch on the console are often the culprits.

The ground terminal is special---the screw that holds it on must go through the metal case---the other screws go into fiberglass--the ground screw is usually silver and others are black---also if you had your starter off make sure you put that black wire with large turm.to ground
