Hmmm, it was there when I ordered it, but that was a few years ago,
fairly cheap, and that may not be the name on the website, look for
something only about 10 bucks if memory serves.

Re: 97 GC - Mechanic Cant find Blower Relay
 

My mechanic just called, he says that the blower relay, which
supposed to be under the dash isn't where it should be.

He suspects that it may have been put under the dash in some
previous repair. I bought it in 2000 and this dealer is the only
guy who has worked on it . The vehicle itself is in great shape
but who's to say.

Could it be that the relay is in a different location, they have
all the manuals etc so i dont see how they could miss it.

Feel in the harness, working back from the resistor pack.
About a 1" cube covered in tape. It's got a "squareish"
feeling rather than the "roundish" loom.

IIRC it was close to the blower motor, possibly on the
back side or above the ducting.

It's there, just damn hard to find.
