Heater, AC not working

FORD WINDSTAR

I have a 1996 Ford Winstar with approx. 180,000 miles and it is a 3.8 engine. I was running my defrost to defog my window and all of a sudden it quit. I have both front and rear heat. There is nothing coming from my heater or AC at all. I am thinking to check fuses first and then relays. But I cant tell which fuse it is cause someone has taken the cover from my fuse area inside. Can you help?

Interior fuse junction panel under left side of instrument panel-you'll be looking for no.36 which has a 30amp fuse.

Madam

In the instrument panel fuse box-you need to find all these fuses no.21 10amp no.36 30amp no.39 30amp.

The no.21 10amp powers all the circuits -by using no.21 and no.36 to transfer power to the blower motors /relays and resistors.

If you have a bad AC/Heater selector switch nothing is gonna work, it has to go thru there for the other stuffs to work.

It's the pink wire that comes from the 10amp to the AC/HTR selector switch or the switch itself.

BTW your electrical passages in the AC/Heater is worst than a can of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti it is not a DIY, you need to bring it in. You need to be a competent electrician to nail this one.

Please! Do not use PM stay here so the others can see it and help out-maybe! We'll wait and see who is gonna step my toes. Come on down!
