Default AC Blower Experts--Step In

I was extremely happy, done with the coilovers and I was going to TEST the BeJesus out of them, get the radar detector on, turn the engine on, it's 100 F outside so I turned the AC and

The A/C controls lights up, the compressor works, the clutch engages but the blower is DEAD. It worked last Saturday and this morning while I moved the Vette in & out of the garage.

Check the fuses and they all check.

Need help and guidance.

96 Vette LT4, manual

Check the Blower Motor Control (BMC) or you have a bad blower motor.

Its not the BMC. One of the greatest things about having two C4 is that I can trouble shoot one with the other. The LT1's BMC works but, the LT4 still blows no air.

I went back to the garage and got so mad at it that started to read the FSM.

I started to look on how to disassemble the blower off the Vette but, out of curiosity I started the LT1 Vette and read the voltage at the blower plug and it was 12+/-. The LT4 Vette still with the blower off and read 12 +/- and I said to the blower "you FNG POS, you ****" and then I punched it.



And the **** started to work WTF?

I'm going to test the coilovers.

Works all the time ahh????
