Default 1980 corvette heater

Does anyone know how to determine what is wrong with a heater, nothing works at all at any speed. I have checked the pigtail going to the switch and 3 out of 4 wires seem to have 12 volts. I this normal?

If you are saying the fan motor doesnt work, it's probably the blower motor resistor

Check in this area. Mine is a 1974 but I can't imagine it has drifted very far.
