Joe, thanks so much for your detailed reply. Here is what I found:
Behind the left kick panel (by driver's left foot, where hood release located) I found a ground bolt with two black wires with ring terminals running out of the big wire loom running down under the carpet. I checked continuity between the two ring terminal crimps and another known good ground point with ignition off. Good connection. Terminals and bolt clean and shiny, no corrosion on or around.
I checked the 10 amp fuse you circled in the interior fuse panel (position 5A.) It was good, continuity across legs. I removed the passenger climate control assembly (push button panel) and tested the blue connector that connects to the back of that assembly. With ignition off, I checked the brown wire to ground. No voltage. Turned ignition on, checked brown wire again, got 12 volts. Pulled the 10 amp fuse to verify it was the correct one, brown wire showed no voltage with ignition on. So I know I had correct fuse, fuse is good, getting 12v to brown wire at passenger control assembly with ignition on.
I checked the black wire on the blue plug to ground, good continuity. There is no black/white wire as shown on the diagram (going to ground at rt kick), but the others are present.
The one thing I couldn't check was the brown wire to the Heater and A/C Control Assembly, because I do not know where that assembly is located. Do I need to check that wire for 12v? If so, where is that assembly located?
What else can I check?
Thanks again!
Dave
