The blower should work regardless of vacuum. Does it not work on any speed, even High?

nope, you can imagine how bad it is in the rain. i can barely drive it when it rains with no defroster. what would be some things to check?

i just went through this last week with mine. The blower motor is powered by a fusible link which runs to the ac/vent/heat/defrost switch its a brown wire i think. That switch also sends power to the blower motor switch. My switch for the ac/heat cycle was burnt out so no power was getting sent to the blower switch.

yeah.....its the switch that you use to select or ac levels, defrost, etc. if you pull out the whole assembly you'll see a orange switch. I could actually see it where it was burnt. Also before you start pulling the panel apart did you check your relay for the blower motor, could be bad??
