basically all at once:
basically all at once:
no heater
no wipers
no acc to turn on radio
i have:
illumination all around
turn signals
hazards
defrost
headlights
headlamp motor fuction
fuses are a go...checked. even bought extras lol.
I had everything working fine after a routine radio swap. was able to diagnose the radio problem by jumping 12v+ into the radios ACC....press power button new radio comes on A OK. my problem seams to be within the ignition ACC curcuit before hand
IDEAS? these seam related?

I forget if the wipers are too, but the rest is from the accessory circuit. If the fuses check out, I'd check your wiring. How about the clock? it is also on the accessory circuit.

all but the blower motor
yes continuity function digital multimeter fuses are ok
so i found the problem with radio and the wipers. located just beyond the column there is a two wire connector (blk/red and blk i believe) this connector somehow became unplugged which is strange it must have been connected by a thread all it needed was a little help installing the radio was just that little bit it needed to become disconnected
now the blower switch is still not functioning
however the logicon is illuminationed (although not the indicator leds)
i checked the relay harness i do have a constant 12v @ the blue wire and one ground i cannot give better details than this and i did consult the fsm if you have a page # id be happy to answer your question. after turning the blower motor switch there was no change at the relay harness leading me to think its before the relay...after the fuse

The ignitoin switch has a pigtail. The pigtail is connected to the Front harness via three elect plugs.
The colors about to be mentioned are in the connector on the Front harness side..........the pure black wire in a connector with a black/white wire feeds the ignition switch.
When the ignition is turned to ON power passes from the black wire........thru the switch to the black/white wire and feeds a row of fuses in the interior fuse box.
When the ignition switch is turned to ON the power passes thru the switch to the Black/Red wire which in turn feeds a row of fuses in the interior fuse box.
When the ignition switch is turned to On or ACC the power passes from the black wire thru the igniton switch to the BLUE wire and from there on to the interior fuse box to feed a row of fuses on that box.
See the attached jpg for which row of fuses gets fed from what color wire at the ignition switch.

Blower motor..........fed from a few fuses. One is on the top row of the interior fuse box. Way up at the top a 30a fuse ..either the one on the top left or top right.
Also needs the wiper fuse to work. So if the wipers work then that fuse is good and no need to look.
Also the Cigar fuse has to be good. That fuse is on the ACC bus in the interior and is fed by the pure BLUE wire at the ignitoin switch. So your problem might be with that blue wire not feeding the lowest row of fuses in the interior fuse box.
EDIT: Look at the fuse box I attached in the other post I made and you can see the 30a fuse on the top row and it's called HEATER. BUT you need the other two fuses to also work for the heater blower motor to go go.
