300SD climate control saga continues

OK, so I put in a new servo (aluminum body, $250+tax from Texas European Motors, Austin, TX) and now I only get blower motor and compressor when switch is on "DEF" --no blower in any other switch position. And STILL NO HEAT! Aux water pump is new but only seems to spin when I jump it to the battery. I tested the resistance circuit, and the three components (in-car
temp sensor, the ambient temp sensor, and the rheostat temp selector) all check out.

Sounds like the amplifier, right? Well, I have substituted three different ACC amps, all with the same result. Could they all be fried? Is there some other relay or something that would fry the amps? How can I bench test the amp? I don't want tojust buy a new one and plug it in only to fry it, too...
