I have a 1999 Chevy Tahoe LT 4x4 them having heating problems and floor fan issues looking for some answers to where I can find my problem at I've been throwing parts at this thing right in life replace them damn near everything and my blower fans still don't work looking for someone who's had the same problems

Does the fan turn on? Did you replace it? Checked for power at the fan? What exactly isn't working properly.

Simple system to troubleshoot. Do you have power AND ground at the blower motor? If you want a guess the connector on the back of the blower switch is known to melt. Have you had the control out?

I replaced the blower switch and the resister and the I think the relay and all of the actuators and still no blower I know I am missing something but running into stone walls and trying to find locations of how everything is routed to is impossible cus everything is routed it taken to and is routed all schematics that I find and diagrams that I find are for like Silverados and other vehicles like the suburbans but trying to find something on a Tahoe is next to impossible because at least me to other vehicles and set most of the schematics I find are for Silverados and suburbs but not for mine and trying to find an exact schematic and locations of everything damn near impossible I'm ripping the whole dash apart just to figure this whole system out and how it's running it's just the whole nightmare to me trying to find information that will lead to what my problems

I replaced all the actuators the dash switches all replace brand new resistor on top of the heater box replace what I thought was a relay to sitting right next to the resistor and I still have no blower I can run direct power to the blower and it works on a switch but to hook it up to the switch in the dash still have no power

I replaced the dash switches I replaced the resistor at the top of the heating box I replace what looks like a relay right next to it and I still have no blower control when I switched the switch on the dash it will not for a while power to the lower but I can run a hot wire to the blower and get the blower to work on a switch from a simple direct line to the fuse box and running it with a 20 amp switch on a 20 amp fuse I have replaced everything I think in the heating system but I'm thinking I'm missing something and all the schematics I pull up for the 99 Tahoe everything leads me to suburbans and Silverados but the schematics don't show exactly where everything is at or my system even and trying to find anything on it is next to impossible so I know I'm missing something but I just can't find it

I had replaced the main switches in the dash controls are all brand new I went through and replaced the resistor on top of the heating box and next to it is sitting some kind of relay and I replaced that too and also replaced all the actuators that operates the doors for the cooling and heating I have heat but no blowers still not totally fixed only partially because the blower fan does not work on the main switch so I had run a hot wire to the blower and I can get the blower to work on a hot wire to the fuse box running on a 20 amp fuse and a 20 amp switch however still can't use the main controls to operate the blower and no power coming out of the switch or is being blocked somewhere in the system and I can't find it

Ya a little more info would help…
I have a 99 Tahoe LT k 1500 four-door four-wheel drive I had replaced the main switches in the dash brand new all the actuators on the heating system are brand new the resistor on top of the heating box are replaced too and what's next to it look like a relay of some kind but I replace that too I still having problems with my blower for some reason when I switch the new switch on the dash on the blower it does not work I can run a hot wire on a 20 amp fuse to the blower on a 20 amp switch and get it to work but trying to work to switch in the dash there's a blockage in the system and somewhere it's screwing with my systems and I still have no blower fan for heat

Replaced all the actuators the main switch is in the dash the resistor at the top of the heating box and what's that next to it is a relay that I replaced too and still have no power to the blowers but I can run a hotline to the blower and make it work kind of hotline 20 of fuse and 20 amp switch but I still have no power coming through the switch in the dash for the blowers so I got a blockage in the system somewhere and I can't find it or I don't know how to find it schematics I look up are all for suburbans and Silverados but not my 99 Tahoe it's hard to find correct information if it's not available

That helps knowing what you've already done but I wouldn't have any more suggestions for you.
Suburban is the same as Tahoe and Silverado that body style was the same also but 99 was the change over year for pickups so it needs to be for the older body style. But any info for those is the same as Tahoe.

What does the connector that plugs into the blower switch at the control panel look like? Jiggle it around and see if the blower responds.

Some years had an intermediate connector on the power line maybe 1-ft from where it connects on the blower. Those can melt as well.

Just a troubleshooting tip for those that troubleshoot electrical problems. Something like a blower motor requires amperage so measuring voltage with a meter or test light doesn't tell the whole story of a circuit. Making a test light from a headlamp can help when you are checking a circuit that draws higher amperage. The higher amperage draw is what causes the connectors to melt over time and while you might read voltage it might not hold the connection when a higher amp draw is applied.

no power at fan
Start tracing back, any power at relay? From memory relay should be behind glove box. look at the wiring diagram above and you can see which wires should have power and when.
