MALIBU HVAC Control Does Not Come On

[Ratchet]

Update: I am getting power from the red wire that connects to the relay. I purchased a new relay, Standard RY20.
I am not getting power at the purple wire that connect to the blower motor. I’ve switched back and forth between the old relay and the new one with the same “no power” results.

For the high setting you will need 12V from the fan switch inside the car. That will be the orange wire at the relay. With out 12V on the orange wire you will not get the 12V from the red wire at the purple wire.

On the resistor block the Yellow, tan and blue wires should have 12V when in the correct setting, Low, med1 and med2.

If you are not getting 12V at these wires when in the correct settings. then the problem is in the HVAC control in the dash or the A/C circuit coming from the fuse block.

Thanks for the A/C schematic. With the key on and the fan switch to low/med 1 or 2, I am unable to get any power (12 v reading) on my multi meter at the resistor connector. I cleaned the contacts at the dash HVAC control. Rechecked the fuse, it’s good.

Thanks to all your suggestions. The blower now comes on!

So, what fixed it? So we don't rehash this again.

The single brown wire going to the heater harness was not plugged in.

so may be that step you should always be: Is very wire hooked up!

True! I bought the car used and the wiring was tucked up under the top part of the dash. I’m so glad the members of this forum helped me.
