As popatim says: Do you at least have High working? That is a relay-activated bypass that doesn't use the resistor pack at all. Does the blower operate in high? Can you measure voltage at the blower'* supply wire when the fan control is on High?
I have photocopies now of the two pages that discuss how to remove and replace the resistor pack, with diagrams. If you want to send me an email with a fax number, I can fax them to you, or if you email me your mailing address, I can drop them in the mail. Let me know...

with the fan on high and at the plug it is reading 12v and .06 mAh so that is what is going on there.but on high the fan will not move. lol so. what could be the problems

The supply of power isn't coming through with any real amperage to move the fan. On the electronic one...this would be caused by the control module. On your version though..the high speed fan should be direct to battery through a relay. It'* odd that you have poor amps.

yeah i know it has me stomped and that is y i was asking all the gear heads and every one else if they could figer it would i will try any thing to get it too work it is 93 degrees here too day i would like to have the ac. but what is that amps that the fan runs on i was just thinking about puting it on a switch so i need to know the amps?

At this point I'd be curious to swap in another, known-good blower motor just for yucks...
Incidentally, with the ignition on and the engine _not_ running, you should be able to hear an audible *click* from the high-speed bypass relay when you switch your fan control from any lower speed to the Hi position. Try going back and forth a couple of times, in and out of Hi, to be sure you're hearing a click from somewhere.
P.*. If you want to hotwire the blower temporarily (which might not be a bad idea anyhow, just to prove that it works in its installed position), any 15-amp toggle switch should be okay. Make sure you're using a fused circuit, though, so that you've got something that will blow if overloaded, such as if the blower motor seizes up.
