Question about HVAC blower wiring
Unable to figure out why my blower motor will not operate. The motor itself is fine, it runs when I apply 12v directly to it. Fuse 17 is not blown (84 928s) and blower runs whenever I jump pins 30/87 on either XXI or XXII. Sounds like the control unit to any of you? Other than cleaning all the pins, I haven't really checked it out. Anybody have a pinout or perhaps a write up on HVAC control unit testing?
Does this sound like the internal relay problem I've heard about on these units?
Thanks as always for any input.

Never mind about the resistor pack, I just answered my own question by reading Wally's article on troubleshooting.
Sounds like it's time to tear into the control head.

It is not the internal HVAC relay - that only affects AC clutch operation.
DEF and max speed on the blower switch both bypass the blower resistor pack
Seems the control head is not turning on the on the blower relay - it will do this if it is not plugged in (or if it has a problem).

Alan is the man, for sure.
I'll be disassembling the head unit this weekend, anybody have a pinout so I can figure out what's what? I'd be happy to just have full blast or defrost at this point...
