Where is the blower motor relay?

I believe my relay is bad, where is it located?

Running down wires isn't helping me here, as it has been rewired or rigged up a few times. Now I would like to get it back to factory specs and delete the added switch for the fan.

Ain't one.

Take a look at Jim Lane's blower motor rewiring thread in the sticky for ideas.

Thanks Dave,

That is the same problem I had at first a few years ago. I melted my fuse in the fuse box just like Jim has pictured. I then bypassed the fuse box, installed a relay (I thought I needed one), and used the old cargo light push button as the on/off for the relay, then I went to the heater controls.

Problem is...with the relay powered up, the heater/ac controls on the OFF position, the fan is still turning (slowly). I want it to be off so that it is not using any electricity.

I'm on my second heater/ac control and still have the same problem. So, I was thinking that the problem must lie some where else. The second unit is an ebay used item from a parted out truck from redline(sp?)

Any ideas?

Where is the heater blower switch and the blower motor resistor located, as seen on the center/left hand side of Jim's diagram below?

Switch is in the HVAC control panel on the dash, resistor pack is hiding behind the glovebox.
