blower motor location?
probably right in front of my face, but cant find it. i jumped the relay, and found the connector for a switch. when I apply power the different connector pins, (there are 6 of them) I cant get the blower to turn on. both fuse and relay are working (or jumped)
this is the connector:
can anyone tell me which pins I need to jump to simulate the blower on postion?

so basically, 2 questions:
1) where the heck is the blower motor?
2) which pins can I jump to turn it on and see if it works? I dont have a switch at the moment.

Did you open the connector to isolate the motor and then ground the second (brown) wire in the connector .... while applying 12V to the red wire? Definitely 'no run' unless it sees ground.

What Garth said
The connector you found is the only connection to the motor - On a Porsche a brown wire is always a ground and Porsche rarely grounds only through a bolt-up chassis connection for ancilliary equipment - most grounds are explicitly wired and routed to a specific ground point with a good chassis/body connection.
Do you have an HVAC head unit with temp/distribution sliders? the blower won't work wihout one - and not just because there isnlt a fan speed switch ? - fix that.
Don't screw around with the switch connector, to test the motor just apply power & ground directly
(VIA AN INLINE FUSE...)

I am waiting for the hvac controller. The guy I bought the car from forgot to give it to me. I should have it in a few weeks. I left the connector attached to the motor and just applied voltage to the back side of the connector red wire. I got a spark, and no motor. I will disconnect it and ground out the brown wire and add voltage to the red and see what happens.

the motor connector is under the black cowl cover just about in the center of the well, simply add power to the red wire and ground the brown wire you will know if the motor works .
If you plug the HVAC head unit in and then the motor wont run then you should check the resistor pack as it could have burned up and or you may have damaged it by jumping power through the motor speed connector
