I have replaced a faulty blower motor but am unable to power it. It appears to be an electrical fault, however on testing, fuses appear satisfactory. I wonder if there is a faulty relay.

1 Where is the relay situated which governs the air conditioning controls?
2 How do you remove the front panel where the A/C controls are positioned?
I removed 3 fixing screws but the panel remained firmly in position

Check Main fuse and blower fuse in relay box and find heater/ac relay. Do you have a meter or test light?

Yes we have 12v meter, a continuity meter, and an ac meter incorporated and in addition a 12v test light.
The 4 speed a/c control is now faulty. The 3rd was previously faulty but the system was efficient.
Are you referring to the 100A Main or the ECM Main labelled EB-27?
We have checked relays EB- 21 (A/C COMP.) EB-29 (COND. FAN) and appear satisfactory.

I have returned. It is a 20 mile journey.
Fuses appear satisfactory.
There is no power to the blue/ white wire.
I have been told that the speed regulator/ resistor may be faulty. If that is so would that effect the power to the blue/white wire?

No blower resistor provides ground through fan switch to complete circuit. Was voltage checked at blower motor connector disconnected?
