Hello,


Fuse # 14 supplies power to the cycling switch I would check it for power here is a guide and the air conditioner wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and the fuse locations as well.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Use a meter on fuse see if there is power to and across fuse.

This guide can help as well.
