interior fan doesnt work on any setting

tried another resistor, speed switch and another cable going to chassis nut joined with neg black cable, checked all fuses in cabin, plugged fan directly to battery and it spins

what else can it be?

final conclusion:
----------------------------------------------

to avoid wasting time by replacing everything like i did, just measure volts at fan blue cable when ignition is on and fan turned on, i was getting nothing, meaning fan wasnt getting any power, i just pulled another cable which i took from cig lighter and wired it to blue fan wire and it works
 
Which now means your overloading relay R 12 and at risk of burning it out. This how car fires start
 
Disconnect the wire you connected from the cig lighter and let me know the following:

With the relay T8 removed and ignition on using a multimeter

Neg of the meter connected to the neg of the battery and positive to pin 30 of the relay holder
What reading do you get.?????

If you get 12 volts then using a piece of wire link pin 30 and 87 together. Does the fan work ????

With the positive of the meter connected to the battery positive and the negative of the meter to
relay holder pin no 86 Do you get 12 volts ????

Let me know the outcome and we can take it from there

gonna try this someday, but i think wiring to cig lighter wont do anything, except maybe in worst case blow a fuse if using fan on speed 4+ cig lighter, dunno how much amps cig lighter and fan on speed 4 uses tho
30 amp fuse for fan?
