It keeps blowing the blower motor fuses 2 when on hi setting. The blower motor is two months old work fine after I replaced it. I replaced the resistor didn't fix the problem. I'm trying to replace the relay can't find the location for it.

Good morning,

The blower motor is under the dash right side behind the glove box.

I attached a diagram for you to view.

The high speed is controlled by the blue/white wire at the selector switch. It could be the selector switch or the wiring from there to the motor.

There is a difference with part numbers due to manual AC or automatic climate control.

I attached a picture from rock auto.
