914 fresh air blower question, Fresh air blower not turning on Options

[iwuzazombie]

Hello! Now i know there are a lot of posts on this topic. I have been reading through many of them which have helped me through quite a lot troubleshooting this.

I just want to confirm something. The blower isn’t operating. I have checked and found there is power at the plug (upper passenger side pole connector). I have cleaned the contacts on the control levers at the heater controls in the cabin including its grounds.

I understand pulling that thing out is a huge PITA. What else should i check? And is it enough to check that there is power on that plug? I also did attempt to apply direct 12v to that upper passenger side pole but it still did not come on.

Just want to make sure i am trying everything before i dig into what seems to be a huge PITA pulling that thing out.

Thanks in advance!
