Another heater problem

Have a problem with my heat. nothing happens at all when i turn it on. my logicon lights up except for the lights to select were the heat goes, the heater fuse is fine, and i get no noise from the air mix motor? i have an 88 vert i live in chicago so with out the defrost i can barley see were im going half the time. i saw another thread of some one who had the same problem but they didnt say what they did to fix it... some one help me out.

i tried redoing the solder but it still doesnt work, right before it broke on the max setting it made a loud ticking sound could it be the resistor? but my air mix motor doesnt work either so. i was thinking about running the blower motor with a switch and a inline fuse because i really need heat...
