hi mate im not sure on the scobby but as a rule on most cars it on the blower in the air flow

as by the way a resistor works it turns current flow into heat so most of the time they are located in the airflow of the blower as it will keep it cool

i might be wrong though i've never looked on the scobby

yea thats what i thought but cant seem to find it on blower thats why wondered if anyone had pics or a link so i could check it out

Depends on what model we are talking about...........

Some have, some don't (built into motor) and some use a power amp to control the speed.

its a 98 sport model
hope you can help its driving me nuts

Don Clark

If its fitted, it will be on the blower/cooler casing behind the passenger glove box.

Relay will be one of 4 on the outboard side of the fuse box behind the lower dash panel drivers side.
