The A/C only works on 1, neither of the 2, 3 or 4 works, not even the fan turns on. I already changed the blower motor, the blower switch and the motor resistor. What can it be?

Hello,

It sounds like you lost the switch ground. Here is a guide to help you test it with the blower motor wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

Connect the test light to power to test the ground.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken
