Pulled dash to replace blower motor, lost wipers, climate control, and starter

Pulled dash to replace blower motor, lost wipers, climate control, and starter.

Like the title says. I removed the dash completely and set it aside, then replaced the blower motor. Set the dash in place (not bolted down, but with a wire connecting it to the chassis for ground, and now the wipers, climate control, AND starter don't work.

As for modified wiring, the only thing that is modified is the starter wiring, but that goes directly out of the firewall behind the pedal and over to the starter.

Any ideas? The wiring diagram shows those circuits having no common connections.

You do know that you can change the blower out without removing the dash? There's 3 bolts holding the blower into the assembly - undo it, unplug the connector, drop it out.

Anyhow, is the dash harness all connected up? Typically there's a ton of connectors that have to be undone to remove the dash. If that's not done, you may have problems. Just put it back together the way you found it and it should be working.

Actually, in the end, it turned out that even the motor was fine. I was originally going to replace the entire unit (the air intake thing wasn't working either), but then I pulled it apart, I found out that the relay harness that connects to the relay on the blower motor was disconnected, and in its place, the harness that goes to something in the A/C box was connected.

But, I solved the problem. It wasn't a disconnected harness. One of the wires coming out of the ignition had been pulled out of the harness. I believe it would be the IG2 wire, but I'm not sure. Regardless, Put it back in and everything works fine.

Thanks though
