Default fan/heater/ a/c wont come on

I pulled my car out of storage today and had to charge the battery to get it started. I
drained the radiator fluid,replaced fluid & replaced the hoses and when I got it started a weird nose from the passenger side began. The sounds seem like there coming from the heater core. I turned on the heater and nothing happened. I tried the a/c, heater, defrost ,fan and nothing would come on. Did I blow a fuse ???? Is there any sensors around the hoses that I could of knocked loose that would cause the all the issues to happen. Would this cause the anitfreeze not to cycle ???
Also, when replacing the anitfreeze, it took less than when I replaced it than I drained. Did I do something wrong ??? Not a great way to start the year. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds to me like you bumped a vacuum line. Vacuum operates all of those things, now do you hear the fan come on?

Where would I look for this vacum line ???? It's possible I bumped something, it's a pain in the *&*& to change hoses without a good
lift.

Fan won't come on at all in all speeds. I tried turning the a/c,defrost,fan and nothing would engage ???? I looked under the car to see if I knocked something off and I didn't see anything. I didn't check any of the vacume lines around the TB. But is that where id look ???

okay i thought yo uhad fan but noth in coming out. I'd have a look at the fuses and relays that control the blower.

Here is a simple test to see if your vacuum is fine. Start the car, let it run a few mins and then shut off. Turn the ac selector switch to a few settings (defog, vent) and if you hear hissing and what sounds like dull clicking your vacuum is good because it's moving the doors around.


It sounds like a fuse or stuck relay to me

I went through all the fuses in the car. I looked at the diagram for the power distibution box in the engine, both Im not sure which one to check. none of them read fan.a/c. Any clue on which fuse to check. I can't seem to logon to the website you gave me. Ill keep trying.
The battery is low, so Im charging it right now. Do you think resetting the computer would help after I charge the battery ????
