I think Tom thought ATC - Automatic Temperature Control. In fact, EATC version (electronic).

Blower motor circuit doesn't have any relay.

Try to ground the orange/black wire of the fan speed switch. Fan should blow at full speed, if you have the the lower lever away from OFF position.

your selector switch secion Trinom posted is the best and easiest spot to check.
you will likely find the main power input to the selector switch has a burnt contact.
 poke around with a test light and jot down the wire colors that you do have power on,,, ***and make sure you tell us which position the switches are in.

I would suggest you start by placing the selector switch to defrost and fan to "HI" and jot down t hose readings.

its gonna be tricky to do wth the cable back there but becareful not to break anything holding down that selector cable.
