    AC, Low beams, Blower motor, fog lights

    OK guy's need help with the above not working.
    AC does not kick in, blower motor does not turn on, could be the resistor, does not operate at all om any speed. Low beams do not come on? Fog lights do not come on. High beams work great.
    Fuses seem to check out fine, car starts fine, Can the relays support this problem?

    Thanks for your help

    I can't think of any single thing that would cause all of those failures, so I suspect multiple independent problems. For the lights, the first thing I'd suspect would be the headlight switch followed by the lighting relays. AC could be a bad switch, low refrigerant, relay, etc. The blower could be a bad switch or bad blower motor.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Hey Jean my thinking also on all the above, blower is original resister is probably shot, AC switch is original also, lights I think that is a relay problem, high beams work well, all fuses are working so switches and relay's seem to be the culprits

      Thanks again for your help

        if the blower doesn't work on the highest setting, then it's something other than the resistor board. If it's like mine, the blower is seized and will blow fuses like no tomorrow.

          OK guy's I found the problem, There is a small wire that goes to the starter that was not hooked up now everything works.

          Thanks for all your help
