Have you checked fuses? As far as a relay, the signals don't have one. They have a flasher.

yes, most of the fuses seem to be fine so far. Our transmission guy checked the codes (the ABS and airbag light are on) and he said the only thing that it said was something about the radiator relay?

I think he was refering to the cooling fan relay, but that wouldn't cause the problems you mentioned. It could cause the radiator fans to not work.

Have you checked the fuses under the hood? Also, under the hood is the relay block. You can check the relays. Under the lid it will list what each relay is for. Look for the one for (lets say) the blower motor. Switch it with one of the relays from the same area that has the same part number to see if makes a difference. If the part starts working, replace the relay with a new one.

Let me know what you find.

We replaced the blower motor relay but it did not help. I guess we will have to take it to a local mechanic. I have to get the blower fan working, it is starting to snow here.

Have you checked to see if power it getting to the motor? The motor itself may be bad.

Let me know.

We actually tried the fuses again and located the problem. Just 2 fuses (cost under $7) and it is all working again.
Thank you everyone.
