Got this figured out yet? I might be down that way this weekend to pick up a pair of seats, if so, maybe I could lend a hand. _________________ 92 Camaro

sadly i still dont, and its getting colder and colder, ive just been so busy now that i work 2 jobs, that i just havent had the time. hoping to get it figured out this week. i just need to figure out where it goes from after the plastic block piece, because my blower has no power at all. motor, resistor, and relay are all new. it worked last year but i had to futs with the wire a bit to get it to work the first time. this year i have no luck. _________________ "this thread is worthless with out pictures"

Switch may have melted. Seen that one before. Also, by resistor you mean rheostat, correct? |

There is a resistor inside the heaterbox. 3 different windings for 3 different speeds. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

If that "resistor" is bad, then high speed should still work, it's for the lower speeds. Possible it could kill all speeds. |

For some reason I was thinking of the three-coil resistor as a rheostat. Must be all that crack I smoked for breakfast this morning. |

I'd suggest the switch. I replaced mine last year when I lost high speed. I pulled it out and half of it was melted away!
GM part # 16068778 for a four speed switch. ~$13 _________________

The signal lever pulls straight out of the column, as long as the wipers are off. (learned that one the hard way before Brandon set me straight )
If you can get ahold of any piece of it with vise grips, just yank it out. Five dollar JY part.
Checking the heater switch takes one minute. Pull the four T-15 screws out of the trim around the radio/HVAC. Remove the three 7mm screws holding the HVAC control itself. Pull it forward, and look for meltyness. |

ya this is the second one thats broken off in the column but the first one was the stock one and was bent in the column so i learned how to take them out from that one. this time though im getting one from a JY this replicas are so crappy.
im going to check for meltyness right now BTW. _________________ "this thread is worthless with out pictures"

The connector on the far left in each picture, pull that off. In the bottom shot you can see some buring/brittleness. |

Buy a new switch for three bucks at the junkyard. Replace. Turn on heater. Drink beer.
Or you can get out your multimeter, pull the plug off, and test the resistance of the hot lead to the three lines going to the resistor. |
