hi there

if not there, then you'll need to lower the carpet and have a good look around the ecu, etc.

why are you looking for the relay, anyway? just curious. :)

The yellow relay in the roof of the glovebox is for the heater blower motor.If it is not there the blower can't work.There should be at least one or two relays there,even in the lower spec cars.

As scorpio_man says,its inside a little pull down flap in the roof of the glovebox,yours must be there if the fan was working a few weeks ago.When you locate it,turn the fan control on and off and see if it clicks,also check fuse 29 in main box.

There is a fuse box under there it is sometimes very difficult to see you may need to remove the glove box to see it but its next to the ECU ... Relay 29 (YELLOW ) should be there.

This is mighty mysterious,all mine have three little sockets,black white and blue hanging on the end of wires,these plug onto the relays which have clips to hold them onto a horizontal metal bracket.
