It works!!!
I think it was all software. I changed to Pulse mode and then followed your directions for blower confit settings. It worked after that. I changed back to Voltage and it still works in Auto and Manual mode. I then soldered Q1 and verified it still works.
I suspect the original Q1...
I am out of town until tomorrow. I intend to follow your troubleshooting steps but will have replacement parts, should they be required. Seriously appreciate all the support. I know I'm close.
Thanks for the troubleshooting recommendations, especially RT.
I have ordered additional parts, specifically Q1 and Q3. I'm hoping, along with more solder, new parts will do the trick. I should know this weekend.
@Paul: Pulse didn't fix it.
@Ralph: All references from LCD up orientation and unit powered off (see image for numbering references)
