Hello everyone. Yesterday, I started replacing my blower motor with pics and instructions from Art Benstein's article. All has been going well. I picked up today where I left off yesterday. Vacuum lines all back together and I installed a new resistor and speed switch also. I tested the moror prior to install and it worked perfectly. I went to try it after tying the new speed switch with no activity at all. No power either. I did notice that the plug on the new resistor didn't have a couple of wires that the original did. Missing are a thin red wire that mates to another and a white with red stripe solidly connected both going somewhere to the left on the drivers side. Before installing the new resistor plug, I cut the old off and trimmed the wires back out of the way. I'm now thinking I should splice the old plug to the new resistor and reattach the old plug with the extra wires I trimmed back. I did leave enough to get to and splice. I got to thinking that the small red wire was a power supply whereas the red wire coming off the motor and plugging into the female plug coming off the resistor is something else.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
