Default Climate control blower problems

I posted here a while back about a problem I was having with the blower with the climate control. I took the blower out again and did some testing. I bench tested the blower and it works fine. I checked for voltage at the blower connector and it's 13.2 with the engine running and the A/C on. I connected the blower outside the housing and activated the A/C and it worked. I partially installed the blower and tested again and it worked. I fully installed the blower and it worked for a few seconds and then nothing. Manually changing the blower speed has no effect. Does that only leave the blower speed control or the climate control? Is there anything else it might be?

Describe "Partially installed" Sounds like you have a wiring issue if it works right up until you get it in the car. Is everything plugged in and functioning "partially installed"? All the speeds?

Partially installed means the screws were not fully tightened down so there was a small gap between the blower and the housing. The connector was firmly attached and the blower worked for a few seconds before stopping. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the response. It worked on the bench connected to a 12V source as long as power was applied.

I replaced the blower and speed control module and the blower now works perfectly. Unfortunately the AC no longer works but I can hear the compressor kick in. Sigh.
