ivantruckman Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Oh man my brain is fried....its a 91 loyale, wagon, has ac as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Your loyale should have a relay on the passenger side of the radiator. Should be a copper/brass plug looking thing with two wires coming off of it and a plug/connector. I would start there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Passenger side of the radiator?? What is a heater fan relay doing there? Do you mean the heater core? I have an intermittent relay that is beginning to get me annoyed. I understood it is under the dash somewhere, but all I see under there looks like a cross between a copper mine and an oil well (masses of copper wire covered in plastic insulation....) Rob.

Rob. yes im looking for the interior, cabin air fan relay, my 91 loyale did the same thing, but now its pooped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven1835 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 hey guys, i just went thru this on my 93 loyale. you are right the manual was no help. finally i found the relay in question. remove the panel below the steering wheel, drop down the fuse panel,stand on your head and look up under the dash. to the left of the steering column there should be rack with 3 relays in it. in my case the relay closest to the steering column was the culprit. look for a large green w/white stripe wire. hope it is only the relay as it can get harder if wiring is the problem. i have long admired the straightforward mechanicals of my loyale, but the wiring is nuts. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I think there are 4 relays under the dash near the center of the firewall. One of them is for the blower I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 HAHAHAHHAHA "stand on your head" no kidding. I did find them , will check them out, thanks everybody.. they didn't look like relays at first. kinda look like plugs, weird round things. I was expecting square bosh looking relays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ...i found the relay in question. remove the panel below the steering wheel, drop down the fuse panel,stand on your head and look up under the dash. ... ...they didn't look like relays at first. kinda look like plugs, weird round things. I was expecting square bosh looking relays I Have a Thread about Those Relays and their Wiring, it is Plenty of Pics and Easy Ideas for the Procedure to Swap more Capable Standard Bosch Relays there, instead of those Weak Round Relays. if you Click over my Avatar, in my "Public Profile" You`ll Find a List of some of my Writeups, there is the Relay`s one. I Hope this may Help. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Glad to hear you found the problem. Along with the blower relay, the other three relays are for the left an right head lights and the rear defogger system. The turn signal/hazard unit is near them also.

MNLegacyGT Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have a 1997 Gt and my blower quit working on Friday. It happened when I turned the AC on. It was fine on my way to work. All fan speeds are out so I also think it may be the relay. The fuses are good. I did notice that a relay? is clicking just above the fuse box when the fan switched is turned on. I don't think this is the relay I want, though as it sure does not look like the ones I have found on auto parts sites. I will also check on the left side of the steering column tomorrow and post what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I think the relay above the fuses is the one you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNLegacyGT Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 There are three relays above the fuses and they all look identical. Does anyone know which one is the fan relay? I will see if I can figure it out by turning the fan switch on and off as the relay does click when I do this. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNLegacyGT Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 My problem is not the relay. I took a hammer and hit the fan motor a few times with the switch turned on high. It took about 10 hits but the fan started blowing. I hope I just had some dirt in it otherwise I bet it will stop again! Then it will be new fan motor time:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
