Default Ac blower quit please help

My control unit has been dim or completely off for about 6 mos but my ac has been working. I know I can fix the unit by soldering. However I'm trying get my blower motor working so I can get some AC. Which fuses can I check before attempting to put in a new blower motor or relay? Is there a good document with photos that walks you through this job? 2001 dual air 6 speed Thanks

This is going sound crazy but do those big metal square fuses come out? What do you pull them out with?

The only things that resemble a square in the fuse boxes are Relays, not Fuses. You can confirm that by using your Owners Manual if you have one.

Thank you so much Charles. I really appreciate the time we spoke on the phone and all the PM's and emails. Charles is a first class act and really knows his stuff.

I wound up replacing the blower motor and My AC rocks now. I got the car temp down to 55 degrees inside the car with the windows down on a 90 degree day.



I also soldered up an extra control unit I had so that its not dim anymore.

Not a tough job but I need my Chiropractor now Would have been better if horse flies weren't biting me as I was on my back and upside down in the foot well. Guess they knew I was easy pickings
