1997 Impreza Outback Sport Issue: No power to Blower motor Things I have replaced in system already: Blower motor, Blower motor Resistor, *Climate control module (to see if the fan switch (actuator) was broken)), Blower Motor Plug (Then I realized could have just checked it first with a multimeter), Blower motor fuses. I bench tested the blower motor relay (which was very difficult to get to), and it clicks, shows continuity and voltage when powered, have a replacement on the way just in case. I have checked every fuse, every relay, the next step I suppose would be to make sure that the system is grounded properly and that no wires are damaged, not sure how to do that. What I know: No power is reaching the BM plug, BM relay clicks when I switch fan from "OFF" to "1" which also means power must be reaching the CCM, Bench tested BM, BM relay, Fuses-all either tested functional or were replaced anyway (BM relay will be replaced at the end of this week but it bench tested functional so I do not think that is the problem). My Assets: A small tool box, a multimeter, 30Amp wire spools, butt connectors and heat shrink, YouTube My questions are: How do I go about finding the wiring issue i.e. ground is poorly connected, or wire is damaged, or should I simply snip the lines from the BM relay to the BM and replace them, and how would I do that, (obviously I need replacement wire and to make sure the old wires are sealed off properly, but how do I make sure that I don't mess the system up, and that I can trust the wiring diagram I found to be enough information for me to connect a power and ground wire to the BM plug so it'll get power. *I replaced this with a used part, so maybe I got unlucky and got a bad fan actuator twice? should I buy a new actuator for the CCM? Is there a way to test if the actuator I have is good? NOTE: The blower motor was making loud noises (like a bad bearing), but had power from 1-4 one day, the next day I only had power to 4 (bad resistor) and then one day I left my car to warm up with the fan on full blast and when I came back it had ceased to work entirely. I have scoured the forums for BM issues which has been helpful, but none have led me to a solution in my case. Attached is the wiring diagram that I am going off of, advice about what my next steps should be are greatly appreciated. Blower motor wiring diagram.svg
