Default heater cooling fan stopped

It did work! I had blown a fuse while working around the console(rear defogger). after replacing the fuse I noticed the fan stopped working, I checked the fan fuse looked good replaced anyway. still nothing. checked and cleaned contacts on fan speed control and the climate control. I than took the fan relay located in the engine compartment apart. when I put the contacts together the fan runs one speed all the time even with the car off. Help please I know I did something wrong just can't figure out what it was. Thanks!

Are you sure you didn't disturb any wires/ grounds for the heater switch while you were in the console? You know the motor works, and seems unlikely the relay would be bad.

I checked and rechecked the connections in and around the console. But your right I had to of knock something, I haven't gotten to the fuse box, I had noticed a red wire that had been attached through the front of it at the heater fuse. I don't think this was factory and I might of knock it loosening the wire on the back of the fuse block that goes to the heater set up. I've been putting this off. lots more I could loosen. Need the rain to stop, no garage yet. that's being built next week . thanks kunkle

I had checked the fuse at least four times you couldn't see it was blown. replaced works great.
