So it will not blow air at all? Maybe its the blower motor or that thing that controls heat/cold mixture. Are you sure the heater core is not clogged?

i have pulled the fan motor..all is well there...i have blown the heater core intake and outrun out with air...rehooked the system up..and coolant was present on both sides.....also..when blowing out w/ air, flow seemed to be od equal pressure, so , am i to assume..no clog? I have been viewing other 89 problems.,,someone said, they had fuse relays under the dash, is this true? I have only seen and read (Chilton repair manual), that they are exclusively set on the side of the passenger side bump panel. :confused:

ok...opened up the controller and....not the same set-up..no hoses to speak of...just resisitors. capacitors and the such... Good news, i see one resistor that looks like a melt down, problem is, the bands are so melted down, hard to tell what i am looking for , looks like a 1 watt resistor, bands look like brown red silver gold. (my understanding, 1 2 divide by 100 @ 5% tolerence). other than that i see no other pieces bad. :mad
