looks like a triac controlled blower circuit on extreme bottom left corner above the relays - bit hard to see with sensor cables over them.
the white rectangular 6 legged chip is the opto, the black 3 legged thing with a likely silver tag and possibly screwed down to heatsink is the triac
have you tried to power the blower seperately?

yes, I took the blower motor out, and took it to a friend of my. He looked at it, and one of the brushes was broken, and he did a temp fix, and hook it up to power and it worked. So I brought it home, hooked it up, THe air bubbles did not come out of the bottom silver jets.

I have ordered a new one it will be here tomorrow.

Can the pvc that runs to those jets get clogged up. I thought about trying to blow them out somehow?

Is there a way to tell if my triac is bad?

thanks,

Stacy

The silver jets that no air comes out, are they by chance by themselves in that area? Does your other air jets operate fine? On my sundance, those two jets are for the circulation pump return, and if you are using ozone, the ozone is also induced through those two jets. They aren't air jets in any way.

the silver jets, right now are doing nothing, 3 are located in the lounger, there is a seat that has 1 on the back area and 2 near the seat area, there are others spread around the edge where the tub drop off.

it is two dark right now to take a picture but in the morning I'll add a picture of the silver jets.

thanks,

Stacy

they are your air injectors x 14
Is the airblower actually running or no noise/output at all?
if its running and no air comes from air injectors, a few things may have happened - the fan cowling on the air blower motor may have come loose, the blower is not properly secured to the pipework, the intake pipe to the blower is blocked, the outlet pipe is blocked on the way to the manifold. is the fragrance dispenser intact - ie is the basket in place? if not, has anything been dropped in there including a satchet of fragrance?

if the motor is not running, little wonder there is no air from injectors !

I installed a new blower this afternoon. there was only 2 wires and a ground. I think I installed it properly.

in a perfect world, what is suppose to happen when I push the air button, just bubbles or is water suppose to come out somewhere.

I thought about hooking up a shop-vac and blowing the lines out before I put the new blower in but forgot till I already had it in, do you think that is a good idea?

Yup, those are all air jets. Any located in the seats will be for air. Are there any in the footwell?
