Question 89' f 250 Custom need help

I need help with my truck. I just bought it about a month ago and due to some titles issues i havent gotten it tagged. i bought the truck for 1100 and it had a burn dash. it was burt from thr passangers seat over to the door. the only thing there thast could of shorted out was the glove bow light. so i went throught and ereplaced the whole dash and heating bow behind it. when i put the new dash in everything worked fine except the heater and the radio. i chased down the heater issue, the heater blower motor waas unplugged because the ppevious owner thought that caused the fire. now my problems.

1.How can i check to see if the heater blower motor is good or bad

2. How can i get the radio to start working.(i had to splice all the wires for the radio but my electric meter said all the connections were good)

please help

check the fuses, make sure all are good, and no one put tinfoil under them. plug in heater motor, and turn it on. if things start to burn, unhook the battery quick to limit damage

I would think the heater motor caused some of the problems, because when they go bad the can and do heat up the wiring sometimes enough to start a fire. I have had that issue with 2 escourts i owned
