Hi Ken. Well I have gone through the fan speed switch yesterday and appears to be fine. Today I worked my way back from the motor, since that, for me was the most direct and easiest to visualize.
No power going to the motor from the delay relay.
Checked the delay relay - power going in (the purple wire from the blower relay - now yellow from PO) and through that little "jumper" you see in the wiring diagram?
Nothing coming from what was the purple hot wire - now black by PO - that goes through the capacitor to the motor. I pulled the harness and confirmed with the voltmeter that the harness looks good (12+ v across from the incoming 'jumper' to the outgoing 'ppl').
Before I tried it, I wanted to see if it is a reasonable move to by-pass the delay relay with a jumper wire in the harness to see if that gets me power down the line to the motor. I see in the parts interchange that the delay relay shows as 'obsolete' and doesn't seem to have an alternative? What to do if it is toast? Can it be by-passed? I found an earlier thread that suggests it can just be by-passed. http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/index.php?t=msg&goto=192311&rid=0 Sounds like the connections are different configuration than what I have though. I have a single harness.
Having some difficulty with the main blower relay - some re-wiring underneath is making it a bit difficult to access half sideways/upside down and my eyes are getting very tired from the close up focus (have to dig out my really close-up cheaters!). But since the current goes through that to the delay relay, I know that it is at least partly working.
Once my eyes are uncrossed, I need to check the wire between the fan switch to the relay (green by the diagram) and the blue going to (coming from?) the resistor pack
I did pull the resistor just because it was easier than checking with the MM and test light. The coils are intact. The harness is FILTHY!
