A Knucklehead installed a Pioneer Stereo in my car and the A/C and Heater hasn't worked since. Checked fuses and found the #35 10a fuse blown. Replaced it and control buttons came on but with no blower, a/c or heater. Don't know if it is another fuse or he forgot to plug the control assembly back.

The only way to find out what's happening back there is take it apart and investigate the wiring/connectors
