97 Challenger 800 - Electrical Troubleshooting

[dbarron709]

Hi Again, so my new to me 97 Challenger has some electrical issue(s). Here is where I am:

I have replaced all fuses (under the dash, on the mpem and the 20A fuse next to the mpem)
I have the plugs out and the plug wires attached to the holders above the carb (assuming having plugs in and wires attached would not affect bilge or blower)
I have tested the blower and fan directly to a battery and both work
I have a new beeper installed and tested on a battery

I can press the start/stop button and the light in my gas gauge comes on and I hear a click in the engine compartment. Neither my blower or my bilge will come on with the switches on the dash.

I plug on my dess key, again hear a click and the gas gauge lights up but blower and fan will not work. The start/stop button does work and engine turns over.

I am not sure where to start next to troubleshoot the fan and blower and more importantly, I am worried my temp sensor will not work either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just a quick update.... I dove a bit further into the wiring last night and found the previous owner must have replaced the starter solenoid and then put the power wire for the electrical accessories on the wrong terminal. Switched it back and things are working!
