Blower isnt working...what is this plug?

My blower isnt working. The lights in the console are on. Nothing happens when the blower switch is turned. The previous owner may have removed the dash and forgot to plug something up more than likely.

I did find this plug but the passenger kick panel that wasnt connected.

anyone have a wiring diagram showing the connections for the motor and switch?

Grab the **** and pull it straight off. Check to make sure the nut under the **** is tight , and that the "peg" is in the hole. You will understand this once the **** is off.

Check your rear windshield wiper fuse, even on the R1s and Base models there is a fuse for this and it control the AC blower motor, confusing as **** but that fits right along with the rest of the FD.

Fuses are fine...

Anyone know that plug? Can someone show me what plugs control the blower?

The previous owner isn't responding.

What are the wire colors attached to the plug, I was checking the wiring diagrams for you but can't tell what color wires you have there. I am going to go see if I can find that plug in my car while the kick panel is out and tell you where it goes.

That's connector x-25, it is the connector between the dash and a/c, its plugs in on a connector attached on the front of the blower unit, right behind the dash. The blue/black wire should be power to the blower motor, hope this helps. If you need the wiring diagrams pm me and I will email it to you.

Looks like the blower motor relay gets power from that connector.

Sorry that should have been connector X-26, it appears to be the connector that activates the relay to supply power to the blower when you turn the dash ****.
