Question Resistor maybe?

Truck has been fine for well over a yr now thanx to this site.Used my truck 3-4 times yesterday without a hitch.This am I start it and my blower motor will not work,parking break light is on AND windows will not roll down.I cleaned the connections on the resistor(blower motor) as I have had trouble with it in the past.Nothing!!! Anyone else ever had this issue? Was thinking it could be short in my blower motor also.Im far from being any kind of a wire guy so any help would be appreciated..Thnx Ken

Since you have multiple things without power, that leads me to think you have something wrong with the power distribution. Like a burnt main fuse or a corroded or loose battery wire.

Now trace everywhere the relay wire goes. Pull apart the wrap when needed, something is shorting out.

not very familiar with the set up on these of that year-However pull the wiring cover between your door and truck on driver side open that sucker and see if you have any broken wires-even if they look good tug on em a little sometimes they are broken on the inside-a good led power tester is great Mine reads ground and power-check the passenger side as well if this doesn't fix it-

WOW,after checking everything I could check to no avail.I decided to just change the 50 amp blower motor fuse under the hood again and see what happens.BAM,problems solved..Im just shocked at all the issues this one fuse caused. ON THE ROAD AGAIN! Thanx to all who commented.LOVE this site..
