I plugged my control switches back in yesterday but I get no forced airflow no matter which position I set the fan switch to. Can this switch go bad?

You say "control switches". Plural. So I'm assuming you also had your mode switch removed? That is the most likely problem. Fan speed switches rarely fail. The mode switch has one 12v input, and two outputs (AC, and Fan Speed Switch). You probably have those wires crossed since they are not in a molex connector.

Here is a reference shot...

Thanks John, I don't think that's the problem, though. In fact I was referencing your site last night while troubleshooting :) Inever actually disconnected the mode switch, and it seems to be working fine -- the foam blockers in the vents open and close as expected.

Is the cabin fan on a fuse? I see "cooling fan" on one of them but that sounds like the radiator.

Perfect! Thank you. I will check my wires and the #10 fuse.

It was the #10 fuse. Thanks!

Thanks John

Glad you got it figured out. BTW I'm not John, I'm Jim. I referenced the first good pic I found in a Google image search for "DeLorean Mode Switch Wiring".
