So it cut's in and out on the highest setting only?Your going to have to diagnose why it's doing this before you fix it.You will need a multimeter do you have one?

It doesnt cut in and out continuously. often times it will work for a little while when I first start the car but shortly will turn off. I do not have a multimeter. I did ask a tech where I bring my car and he said it was a relay in the dashboard and qouted about $300. I saw some of your site answers and seem to think the relay is on the passenger side fire wall? If so, then what is this guy talking about.
