Re: 89 Camaro RS - No High Speed Blower

yeah i will probably check napa, they have the resistor (only place around) which i might replace anyway, and i'll probably have to do that maverick, thanks for all the help i really suck with electronics pretty bad, but hey i got my rear defrost working again, any idea as to why i only have one breaker in my fusebox when theres a place for two? because i dont have pwr windows?

well new relay is on the way, pretty sure its the relay as power goes to it but nothing after that has power, when i pushed the little copper strip inside it up to contact, the blower motor kicked right on so again pretty sure its the relay

If you have the electronic version as my GTA does there are two relays for the blower motor. One for main power to the switch and the larger 5 pin relay for the two highest settings . My fan switch didn't light up at all. I was going to replace the orange wire and noticed there wasn't any power at the switch, so I traced it back to the relay. (if you shake them and hear any noise, they most likely need to be replaced)
Be careful when getting a replacement relay. There are a few different types. Mine had 3 pins on the bottom and one on the top left hand side.
When I went to pickup the 1st replacement it had 3 on the bottom and one on the top right hand side, which naturally wouldn't work.

This is the correct one with a pic:

They also list this one but can't confirm (no pic avail.)

FYI: the connectors under the hood were there and didn't have heat damage

Thanks for everyones input, hope this helps!
Just replaced my relay today with a Valucraft 19957VC from AutoZone ($10.99) which they stock since the Santech MT0525 is special order. The relay lasted 27 years so I'm not complaining and the connector on my car is still fine.
