The A/C Heater blower isn't working when I turn it on nothing happens I have a step by step way to do this but need a schematic of the componant panel so when I open it up I know what I'm doing.

With key on and hvac turned on, I'd check good voltage and ground at the blower motor, if voltage and ground are ok and no blower action, suspect the blower motor.

What next steps should I use? I am not a mechanic and I have no idea. I just need a step by step way so I can have someone help me check to see. Thanks for the schematic it is very helpful. And do you know how much blower motors costs if this is the culprit?

Sorry I can't lead you step by step, I'd have to look at it. If the blower is the problem, the removal and install is listed below. The Napa online partsbook, list the part for 90 bucks plus tax. You might be able to find one cheaper, you will have to look around.

In your first post, you said you had step by step, just needed wiring info, which I gave. Sorry if I misunderstood your post. Have a great day.

What I meant by step by step is it tells me to take the panel off and how to use a volt meter to check out to see if it is the relay card or whatever. So that is what I meant but needed the schematic to tell how to test for it. Thanks again.
