Blower won't work / where's blower relay?
Hi, I have a 2006 Vibe. The blower went out, so I replaced the blower and then it worked intermittently and then diedl. I replaced the blower motor resistor, but that didn't solve it. I'm getting ground all the way to the blower connector, but not voltage. I'm wondering if it might be the blower relay? Can you point me to where specifically I could find that? I see that there is a Fan 1 and a Fan 2 relay in the fuse box close to the battery - do you know which one (if either) is for the blower?Any other ideas?Thanks!

Welcome to genvibe.
The fan 1 and fan 2 relays are for the engine cooling fan. The HVAC blower relay is called the Heater relay, and it is in a junction box above the glove compartment. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5078 talks about that junction box, and has this picture showing the heater (blower) relay
There have been a few people that have had relays in that junction box not fully seated. Hopefully your problem will be that the relay just needs to be pushed back into the socket. You should be able to reach up and find the relay by touch, pull it into the junction box without having to unbolt and drop the junction box. Probably not the problem, but is worth trying before you drop the junction box for access.

I reuploaded the pics
I don't know the part # for the heater relay.
There is 40A HEATER fuse in the underdash fuse block
The fuse location is shown on page 5-92 of the 2006 Vibe owner's manual. (a copy can be downloded from a link in viewtopic.php?f=28&t=38509 ) Its one of three big fuses, bigger than the array of mini blade fuses The owners manual labels it "HTR"
