My question pertains to my AC blower wiring. According to my FSM p. 8-154 there is a green wire C5-14DGN attached to the air conditioning motor (assuming this is the blower motor). I have a green wire with a grey plastic boot plug plus a ground on the engine bay side of my blower. The FSM says this wire goes to the # 4 spot in the bulkhead. I am I reading it right? This powers the blower motor? When I hook it up like this I get nothing from my blower switch. What am I doing wrong?

Is it grounded well? The Black ground wire goes to a wiper motor stud. Is that Green wire "hot", switch good or maybe sticky????
Have to do some basic homework.

THX, it seems to be in the high med low blower motor switch. Got the blower to work by jiggling the switch but only on high level with ac lever on max. I have no med or low blower levels. Took the switch apart and cleaned terminals, no change. Do they go bad?

Yes, they go bad. I owned a new 1972 Satellite Sebring Plus and had to replace 3 within 3 years. Have you checked the blower resistors located below the glove box and mounted on the blower housing? I believe they are also in the circuit for the medium and low speeds.

Well now I can get high and medium to work, but still no low. The blower resistors are all intact, not really sure how to test them

Remove the resistor assembly from the blower housing and visually inspect them, making sure they are intact and no debris is clogged in them. If you have a volt-ohm meter, set to ohms and test between pairs of terminals.. You should read some fairly low resistance, guessing less than 50 ohms. Basically, you are checking for continuity.
