I'm trying to figure out a way to turn on the blower motor fan without using the climate control module. Reason for this is; the climate control module went bad (one of the connection melted) and was on defrost when it happened. I still need to use the car to get to work and back but I can't because the windshield gets too foggy. Are there wires that I can jump to force it on? If so, which ones do I need to jump and what's the best way to do it? This would be temporary until I can afford to get it fixed.

Good morning,

I attached the wiring diagram for you as well as a connector diagram for you.

You need to go to the blower resistor next to the blower motor. Remove the connector and connect the purple wire to the orange wire and that should make the blower work.
