    Yeah I didn’t mention the flashing. When I changed the front marker housings I upgraded to led so my own fault ;) but I knew the resolution. For now it’s all buttoned up and on the battery tender for the next few weeks. So I won’t have much of an update for a while. Maybe I’ll start...

    I found the 30a fuse under the hood was blown. Swapped it out and now I have all 5 speeds. Unfortunately the motor was making a terrible screeching sound as it was spinning. So maybe my wd-40 / electric motor cleaner trick wasn't enough. Oh well I had ordered a replacement blower motor anyways...

    This YouTube video seems to match my setup as well. This makes sense. I’ll check that 30a and see what its condition is. That might be my issue.

    I found this diagram on that charm site. This seems to match more what I’ve got I’ll try to follow this and see if I can trace down where I’m missing power or ground.

    I found the frt hvac 30a fuses which was there. But no other ones. The only 40a fuses are stud #1 and ign A which I figured that’s probably required for the truck to start and run, which it does without any issue right now.

    Well checked the seal job I did yesterday with a garden hose on full blast. No more water inside. Looking for the 40amp fuse under the hood for the blower on hi I could only find a 40amp maxi fuse for stud #1. Not sure if that’s where the blower motor is connected, but that was the only 40...

    2000 Silverado z71 refurb

    Well got a thin bed of clear urethane on to seal up the top seal. I’ll check this afternoon to make sure it keeps the water out. Yesterday I found a can of wd-40 specialist rust release. I decided to soak the blower motor with this stuff for a bit and then spin it by hand for probably 10–5...

    Thank you. Man that picture makes that thing look so cheap compared to the valeo I pulled out. So much more robust than what they’re showing as the new Gm original. Bummer.

    It’s manual controls, blue/red knobs. Yes it’s the bayonet tab mount motor. RPO C60.

    Started cleaning the 20years of dirt off the hood. Cleaned up pretty well from a distance New headlight and marker light housings tomorrow. I’ll probably finish cleaning the dirt off tomorrow and install a Noco battery tender.

    If anyone has input on decent aftermarket blower motors I'm all ears. Having trouble locating GM genuine.

    The blower motor was basically sitting in a bowl of water and rusted solid. Finally broke it free but the bearings are shot and all crunchy. Time for a new blower motor too. Date code on blower and resistor both from early 2000 so both were original which I’m not surprised, I never changed...

    Pulled the blower motor resistor and……. WHERES THE REST OF IT? I searched all through that box in the resistor slot, filter slot, pulled the motor. I can’t find the other part of the resister circuit board The resister has left the chat.

    Decided to tear into the blower motor and see how bad it is. Started with the cabin filters. TBH I expected worse for last bring changed probably 20 years ago. Fresh filters going in…

    I cleaned it up real good. Letting it dry out for a day. Windshield urethane arrives tomorrow. I also called a couple local glass shops to see if they had any ideas or a way to reseal it without destroying the windshield. We'll see if they call me back before I tackle it tomorrow...
