Didn't want to hijack and my issue is a little different so........
Can someone explain to me where the hot lead is located on the fresh air blower switch in the dash. All I can find is one red wire that goes into a small lamp socket next to the dash board lever. I have three white wires (w/ stripes) that control the fan speed. Then one ground wire on top of the switch unit and another ground wire on the bottom. This seems consistant with the wiring diagram, but I cannot figure out how this circuit works. The only place I can find 12v is if I pull the lamp socket out and probe at the end of the red wire. Once I put the lamp socket back in place, nothing. Is there some kind of contact inside the lamp socket????? btw, the little light bulb is burned out, don't know if that matters or not. thanks |

Hot lead is the red wire that goes into the plug at the blower. Real tough to get to unless you got girlie man hands. Passenger side of housing at the rear of housing.
Like I said before the blower always has power with ignition switch on. All you are doing with the blower control lever is selecting which wire is grounded in relation to the resisitors inside the blower housing. |
