Thanks Rick,
That color diagram is super-nice. I have also since found the '69
wiring diagram manual in my car-chives and a few loose pages of
diagrams as well that are also in the manual.
I see that the orange wire comes off the front lighting harness and
according to the link you sent it should be dead on an AC car like
mine, and can be cut off. I'll test that but won't be so quick to cut
it off.
I can also see the purple and black wires that I have going to my
blower motor, and it does show that I am supposed to have a black 10ga
wire going from the horn relay to a fuse holder, w/ a 12ga orange wire
going from the fuse holder to a relay.
I'll pull the fender again tomorrow and see if power is getting to the
motor. The fuse doesn't blow, so I guess that's a good sign.
From what you're saying, even if that hot lead off of the horn relay
is not hooked up, the blower should still work on the lower speeds,
right? Right now it is not hooked up.
Thanks,
John

Here is another link:
http://macc.chevelles.net/images/69diagram_color.jpg in color this time.
It is for a non-A/C car. I now wonder exactly how much different a 69 is
from my 72 in respect to the blower wiring. On the 69, the blower motor
orange wire seems to go all the way back to the switch. Wondering out loud
here, but maybe YOUR orange wire is installed @ factory but not used on an
A/C car????
Did you try to put 12V directly on the wire going to the motor? Make
sure that the motor (even though new ) & ground are good.

Last post says that orange wire is not used on A/C vehicles. I know it
refers to a 71, but 69 may be the same. Again good luck with it.
