First Official Breakdown! (Help please!), Couldn't have picked a busier intersection Options

[tvdinnerbythepool]

Took my poor girlfriend suffering from a nasty cold out for some fresh air and to pick up dinner. Little did she know she'd get to push a 914 through a busy intersection at rush hour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

So here's the deal, the car quit right after I pulled up on the heater handle by the gear shift...well that's odd! Must be a coincidence.

Got the car pushed to a parking lot, it cranked fine but I couldn't hear the fuel pump. So I checked and I blew the 15 amp fuse in the engine fuse box. Swapped out the fuse, problem solved! Fuel pump kicked back on and away we went! (Glad I finally got an "oh shit" bag in the frunk a couple of weeks ago, that's the FORD bag in the pic, don't judge! lol)

When we got home, out of curiosity I pulled the heater handle up again, and son of a gun, it quit. Fuel pump silent, fuse blown!

Can someone tell me to connection between pulling that handle and the fuel pump circuit?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Thanks for the input guys!
First, heck yeah she's a keeper and IS still talking to me, lol

I figured out by process of elimination that I'd flipped the blower wires in the engine bay. Didn't know that it mattered on that, but now I do!

I had just swapped in the new ignition harness from 914rubber and hadn't tested the heater until last night.

@mikey914 could you confirm in the pic below that the white wire goes to the AAR....not sure where the green/black goes. (1970 1.7L djet)

I'll be reading up on halfsplitting and I've got the manuals to help diagnose.

As we worriedly limped home, the gauges were nicely illuminated by @mikey914 LED bulbs!
