The only thing installed on my car that is associated with HEAT would be the exchangers. Nothing else. I need to get the heat working so I started with the Heater fan in the engine bay.
SO FAR: successfully bench tested the fan with 12v. Put a known good headlight relay in the fan relay socket Successfully checked continuity of the wire from the lever to the 14-pin connector (GRN/wht). Connector attatched, and unattached Successfully checked continuity from the relay (87) to the fan (green wire), car was not running. Strange thing I noticed. Checking continuity from the lever to Pin #9 was good. I then checked continuity between the lever and pin 13, 11, 7, 5, 3, 2 & 1. With the 14-pin connector connected they all showed continuity to ground. THIS CAN"T BE RIGHT, can it? The car runs fine, all the lights work. Seems like a ground short, but it is not affecting anything else. My goal here was to (as designed) get 12v to the green wire on the fan, but I can't. I have read several posts that gave me some direction. But I am lost. Thanks, Clark  |
