I tried various settings (other than high) with ignition on..
Silly question but is the an "easy way" to apply 12 V to the blower motor? As it looks now I'm going to have to remove a cover under the dash?

BINGO!
Checked the ground, it was OK. But noticed the male terminal coming off the motor didn't look too clean. When I put it back on the blower started working! (but only in high speed). The other speeds don't work. I only use high speed anyway, but I'm going to get a new relay anyway just for the spirit of "getting it right". I also want to do the C4 blower mod.
Sometime this week I'll call Wilcox and order a new relay. And maybe a c4 blower. But I also want some new carpet, I was on Wilcoxs website, the prices look right. So I may order some from him as well. As soon as I figure out all I'm going to order I'll give you a call.
Alittle off topic but does anyone know where to find the codes that tell which color carpet is used? I looked on the inside of the drivers door, the numbers are not hardly legible.
Thanks MEN

INTERIOR COLOR CODE: Left door jamb by the upper hinge is a metal plate that has the interior code stamped into it.
AS for not having any other fan speeds...you have to have power on the dark blue wire going into the relay for the lower speeds to work.

While you in there. Check for any abrasions on the wiring harness that comes from the fire wall and runs behind the ignition shield on the passenger side.
I found the blower has an intermittent short when on high fan. The wire had been exposed by the ignition shielding rubbing against the wire bundle. Murphy's law that it would short to one of the few grounds on the car!
Worth a look as this one drove me nuts..
