you mean the blower motor? if you have tried 3 blower motors, perhaps the logicon is bad?

you should be able to hear the air mix change i think. does the blower motor come on? I think it may also have a relay somewhere.

Sorry...sloppy reading on my part.

Presumably you've already checked the fuses?
The FSM says that there is not only the obvious one- 30A "Heater"- but the "Wiper" fuse as well.
After that, the point of commonality between the air mix motor and the blower motor is the bloody, already replaced three times, Logicon. You'll have to sort through the wiring diagrams and make sure the Logicon is getting power when the ignition is on since it kinda sounds like it's not.
BTW...do the indicator lights on the Logicon come on with the main lighting?

I had a similar problem. It turned out that the big connector at the back of the dash that the logicon plugs into was bad. If I fiddled with it, the heat would work for a while. I'm going to need to pull the dash to fix the problem.

yes i have already checked the main 30A fuse i did not check the wiper fuse but the wipers work so im assuming that means its ok.
when i turn the lights on all the lights on the logicon light up except all the button lights are out like where you select floor vent ect. i still cant figure it out but im not gonna give up i need heat damnit!!
