I found three black rectangular objects that looked like relays. They were all the same. They had a relay diagram and 12 v NO in large letters (I assume it means Normally Open). I popped two out and tapped them for a while and put them back in. No change. Trouble is that they looked rectangular (looking from above) while the one I got from the Subaru place looked wider and square. Did he give me the wrong one or am I looking at the wrong thing? I didn't have time to tinker with it further, but will later.

I've done a search of the postings to try to find out where the blower motor relay is located on my 1990 Subaru Legacy 4 door. The blower rarely runs. Sometimes when it is cold, it will run. It is not blower speed related, so I narrowed it down to the realy but can't find it. I bought a new relay for $40 so I know the shape of it. Some posts say under the steering wheel,; others say in the A pillar near the glove box. Some say above the fuse box. No luck so far. But hopefully I can find someone with a 90 Legacy who knows the right location before I go digging too far.
