Check the connector at the blower. It may be the connector itself.

That is what I thought! Actually the plug itself looked a little smashed, not burnt. I was thinking of getting plugs and cutting the part up to the plug and using electrical tape? I want to test that wire before I make that decision. If that wire is good, that to me would be the plug? What do you think? Also having difficulty buying those plugs. Which types. I might have to take a picture and bring it in to the store or go online. Thank you Roy

Okay, rule the story of buying correct plugs out! I found connectors that actually fit two of the blowers. If I test the wire and see if it has power, I will cut the plug off and put these two connectors which do work, because I tested them out of the car to the blowers. So now I have to just test that wire. Confused about how to go about testing the wire. Car on or off again! Which device to use? I have a power Probe for continuity. We are getting there. Thank you Roy again.

Here is an image. These connected right onto the blower. I would like to cut that pigtail and put this on it! I still would like to check that wire. So many ways? Car off? Thanks Roy

I had to rethink my plan for that. Since the blower works, I put power to it, I have a new resister put in, I am thinking, this might be a blower switch problem since the light to the AC is not on? All the others are on. Fuses check out fine but I could redo checking them. I keep thinking blower switch? Thanks Rob.

If you wiggle the wiring at the motor, what makes you think it is the switch?

I will wiggle it again just to make sure. Car on or car off again when wiggling. I see too many videos with with guys not disabling the terminal. I will disable the terminal and wiggle. If this doesn't work. I am trying to figure out the next step? Thanks Roy

You will need a voltmeter to verify power. That is the next step.

Be careful that you do not power a ground with that or you will burn out modules.

I won't touch the switch power. I also have the screamer with no power switch.

I will get back to you soon! Could you use a test light? I forgot we need to see voltage. Maybe the multi-meter could be the way to go? I have so many tools.

Yes, a voltmeter would be perfect.
