Exciting news!

In the fuse base labelled C the two pins in the center had power. When the two foreword most pins (on the side with 3) were jumped the fan cave to life. When the fan came on there was a puff of smoke from the fuse so I disconnected my jumper immediately. I take this as good news despite the fact that I’m not really sure how to interpret it.

Note: when this was done, the two resistor leads were clamped together with vice grips. I also tested to see if the fuse had power with ignition, and it did.

(With regards to the multimeter comment, I addmittedly do not have one and subsequently am clueless as to its operation. As far as I understand it is used to measure current? I hope that my test lighting and jumping has bypassed the need for a multimeter but I obviously am not at all sure.)
