No power to Blower.

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my mom's 1994 escort. Last year I replaced the blower motor resistor and everthing has worked great. Now she has no power going to the motor. I checked the fuse and it is good, I bench tested the blower and it is good and I checked the resistor and it is good. What is left to check? Is there a relay for the heat somewhere? there are two square plastic boxes located on the firewall, one is brown and one is grey, are these relays for the heating/cooliong system? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Theres a small fusable link on the resistor pack. Sometimes they blow out too. It looks like a small silver tube with wires coming out of either end. Should check OK with a continuity tester. Have you checked for voltage to ground at the motor plug?

I checked the resistor pack, OK. I checked for voltage at the motor and I don't have any. I'm thinking that the switch itself may have gone bad. I'll have to check it today.

Is there a switch on the heater water valve on this car?

Got it fixed, and just in time. Temps went into the 20's. The speed selector switch was shot. Got a new one at the junk yard for $8. All works great now.

Excellent... I didnt want to suggest the switch as they dont die that often. Its usually the other problems we mentioned. Stay warm!
