I went thru that and changed a fan. It still didn't work, so I pulled the relay pack out of the suitcase under the hood and cleaned the coils up and replaced it. I thik I started with another car's relay pack, cleaned it up and pu tit back.

It's the black case that sticks out on the pass side from the firewall. this one is removed and sitting on the front tire(no fender). The relay pack is the orangish/redish thing with about 4 plugs stikcing out. That's where the wiring harness plugs into. I think it comes out with a 5/16" or so wrench.

got all of them to work but high, now low and high doesnt work, only the middle ones do. the plug is pretty beat up. i was checking the volts and it seems all of the plugs are getting power except number one which is the offset one, and that one should be high.

i had all of them working but high, now low doesnt work either. i checked the voltage and it seems the one that is offset is high and it doesnt have power. does anyone have a diagram so i can figure out what is happening? also when i put it on high the relay near the engine on the firewall clicks, but only for high...
