Default blower and radio will not turn on

alright, so the first cold *** day in michigan when the temp drops below 20, and my blower motor wont turn on in my 91 hatch. ok, i go to start my car, key on engine off and the radio works, but no blower motor, no heat, im cold. when i start the car, the radio will not be on, and the heat will not work, during the summer i half assed the light for my tach and pluged it into the fuse for the radio. everything worked fine until today. if i continuously turn the car on and off eventually the radio will be on and the blower motor will blow with the car on, but its beginning to be a huge hassle having to worry about getting from place to place with no heat. but everytime i turn the car on weather the blower works or not i have light on my tach. (its an aftermarket tach). so im guessings its not the fuse. as of right now i do not have a place to work on my car and i have not had a chance to look further into this. if any of you have any info on this please reply asap it would be a huge help. thanks alot.

no man, a blower motor is the thing that blows your heat/air cond. for your car. like the thing that blows the warm/cold air through the vents. thats a blower motor. a blower, is also known as a super charger. but a blower motor is a complete different thing.

no, i havent had time to check anything yet. im guessing its not he fuse because it will turn on sometimes. im guessing its something to do with the ignition switch cuz it seems to work with the key on engine off, but i could definitly be wrong.

Check for a half connected plug right under the steering column. Had the same problem.

i checked for plugs, got nothin. i have no clue whats going on. im really sick of workin on this god damn car. soon every god damn thing will be brand new and i wont have to worry about this ride. im thinkin maybe its the igniton switch, or at least somethin to do with the ignition because it used to work if i pulled the key in and out and started it a whole bunch. but now it just wont work. so i have no clue what im gonna do, maybe ill buy the ignition switch.

You have copper strands in your fuse connection from your nice ghetto-rig. I noticed that problem when I first did my temporary voltometer setup. The circuits that were tapped in the fuse side would be dead when I started my car so It came out to be removing the connection from the fuse and then finding the right spot for the fuse of sitting in the slot for it to still allow current to flow through it but not ground out.
