Recently replaced the blower motor and resistor in my car listed above and I am getting nothing from it. I’ve checked the #6 fuse for it and it’s not blown, but when I put a test light to the fuse there isn’t any power going to that fuse. All other fuses and relays are working except that #6 fuse. Is there a connector that is supposed to be plugged into the fuse block specifically for that or am I just missing something?

Yes, the load reduction replay needs to be swapped out here is the location. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Replaced the load reduction relay and it’s still not working would the next best thing to do is check the actual ac head unit to see if it’s getting power to it?

Still no power to fuse #6? Can you double check please? Do the emergency flashers work? Here are the accessories that are supposed to work when the LR relay is working. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.

Okay, so the power to the relay, can you double check the load reduction relay it powers fuse #6. Please looks at the wiring diagrams above to see how the system works.
