Save your money. You can download the factory manual from this site, here:

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-download.html

You'll find the 2001 in there as well.

It's a .rar file, another compression method. Freeware "unzippers" are out there.

Thanks for all the help so far. There is still something I am missing. I have tried 3 different ignition switches, non of them will run the blower fan. I can jump the 1 and 8 positions on the connection and the fan runs perfectly. Hook up a switch and nothing. When putting the switch in the run position, I cannot get continuity between the 1 and 8 position on any of the switches. This tells me that there is something else that make that switch close and turn the blower motor on.

There is nothing in the wiring diagram.

If you connect pins #1 and #8 (and are positive you have the pins right) then all you are doing is bypassing the ignition switch, nothing else. Since the fan then works, it has to be the ignition switch.

I attached a copy of the ignition switch pinout. I can't attach the ignition switch schematic, not enough space.

8W-10-17 shows the igntion switch wiring. Fuse (40 amp) - ignitions switch pin #1. Pin #8 to the blower motor.

Connector diagram is helpful, I've been jumping and checking voltage on 8 and 14, not position 1. There is no voltage coming in on pin 1.

Fuse is good, is there someway of checking the voltage out of the power distribution center?

How are you testing the fuse? Ohmmeter?

You are looking that the big fusible link marked HVAC right? Not the little fuse marked AC?

Using my multi-tester (Radio Shack) set for continuity. Checking the HEVAC Fan 40 amp. Swapped it with another 40 amp also. My PDC looks a little different than your diagram.
