I just replaced the heater core, A/C evaporator, and blower motor. Now my blower fan will not turn on. How should I trouble shoot the blower motor?

Alligator clip the positive and negative to the battery. If you do it on the bench have a good grip on the motor housing and watch your fingers.

Did you reconnect the harness to the resistor?

With a test light before taking anything apart, that 12V has got to be somewhere

If you don't have 12v at the blower motor, check fuse 25 (15a) in the junction block (coil side of blower relay). Check fuse 6 (40a) in PDC (switch side of blower relay).

If you do have 12v at the blower motor and the blower motor works if you apply 12v directly to it and you're sure the relay is good, you may need to pull the heater control back out and make sure the fan switch harness is fully seated.
