It wasn't any of the above. Like an idiot, I forgot to mention the turn signals didn't work, but the 4-ways did. I did a quick search for the turn signal problem, and sure enough, SOLUTION!!! It was fuse 23 under the dash. It apparently controls the turn signals, blower, and reverse lights (so I guess I didn't have those either). I replaced it, and sure enough, all is well. Man I love this forum. I really really love this place!!!
