[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 439976, member: 21038"] Still not entirely sure. I think it's probably ignition switch/wiring related, based on my troubleshooting and going by the wiring diagrams, the heat/blower wiring is pretty simple overall. I'm still undoing a lot of wiring SNAFUs from the previous owners, some of which involved the column wiring, which based on how power flows in this circuit has got me thinking it's part of the column wiring that's causing the issue. Basically, I have no power at the fuse panel for the heater/blower 25 amp fuse. Until I can dig deeper into the steering column, I wired the fused side of the blower microswitch to my aux fuse panel. So other than the system being able to run while the Jeep is "off" everything else works as intended. I also had to fix the vacuum switch and blend door cables. The blend door cable had a kink in the slider panel end that I straightened out, and the vacuum switch was detached from the slider panel left to dangle with the vacuum feed line unhooked and left to dangle. What I really need to do is pull the dash panel back and fix what's hacked up. Same for the column as a whole. They removed the horn switch from the steering wheel and put it on a push button at the base of the column. I've got the center "cap" but need to grab the horn button hardware and rewire back up properly. The joys of undoing 28 years of neglect and "fixes". [/QUOTE]
