No air coming out of the vents

It all started recently when the heat started to cut off once in a blue, I originally thought it might be the blower motor untill the car stopped blowing air all together. I tried 2 different blower motors and both did not move when i plugged them into the harness. I tested the harness that connects to the blower motor and the test light did not light nor did it light on the 2 #15 fuses in the fuse box. Is there maybe another fuse or relay that controls the manual air controls? or could it be that my controls are just bad?

thanks for any insight in advance

I guess there has been some kind of short, and thus meltdown. A/C does not come on...

Check all fuses first by swapping. Also fusible links under hood, beside batt. Then swap the 3 A/C relays under water reservoir, blk box. (Color coded: you may swap same colored relays for diag purposes.)

The A/C control goes through the control panel circuit board, can be bad. ECU has its say also, but if all other issues work, I think it is ok.

You can test control the A/C direct by giving +12V jumper wire to the compressor - theres only one pin.
