| welcome to the forum check the power Thru the transfer case and out to the thermal resister. You may have had a shorted wire and when you disturbed it it quit blowing fuses

| then it may be the switch in the transfer case, its a switch with a ball on the end. try bypassing it and see if you get power

| Like mentioned,see if you have power at the switch on the t-case. I repaired an 89 chevy that had the same problem,but the blower motor would stop working when the 4x4 quit as well. Found they are on the same CKT and one of the wires had rubbed through shorting to ground at times. |
