Here's a general outline of the process, but be aware this is not a comprehensive guide and omissions could lead to damage:
Locating and Accessing the Blower Motor:
1. Disconnect the Battery: This is crucial for safety to prevent short circuits.
2. Remove the Passenger-Side Dash Components: This is the most labor-intensive part. You'll likely need to remove:
* The glove box: This often involves removing screws and possibly some clips.
* The passenger-side knee bolster (or kick panel): This might require removing screws or unclipping it.
* Possibly other trim pieces: Depending on your approach and the specific obstacles, you might need to remove more plastic trim pieces around the passenger-side dash. This is where a repair manual's diagrams are invaluable.
3. Locate the Blower Motor: Once you've removed the necessary trim, you should be able to see the blower motor housing. It's usually located behind the glove box area. It will likely have electrical connectors attached.
4. Disconnect Electrical Connectors and Remove the Motor: Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors leading to the blower motor. Then, you'll need to access the mounting screws or clips holding the blower motor in place and carefully remove it. Again, your repair manual will be essential here.
Locating the Blower Motor Relay:
The location of the relay is less straightforward and can vary depending on the year and specific options on your vehicle. It's often found in a relay center or fuse box, typically under the hood or in the interior fuse panel (often located under the dash on the driver's side).
Your only having one speed (high) strongly suggests a problem with the resistor pack, the blower motor switch, or a relay. Because you mentioned only having *one* relay, it's less likely a relay issue (multiple relays handle different blower speeds).
Troubleshooting the One-Speed Issue:
1. Check the Blower Motor Resistor Pack: This is a common culprit for multiple-speed blower issues. It's a small box that controls the different fan speeds. It's often located near the blower motor itself, but its location varies. A visual inspection for burns or melted components could tell you if it's at fault.
2. Inspect the Blower Motor Switch: The switch itself could be faulty, sending only the high-speed signal. This will require diagnosis with a multimeter to confirm voltage/current at different switch positions.
3. Relay (Less Likely): While you say you only have one relay, a faulty relay could still be a remote possibility. Check the relay's connections for corrosion or looseness, but this is less probable given your description.
Important Notes:
* Repair Manual: Having a repair manual for your 1992 Corvette C4 is absolutely essential. Attempting this without one greatly increases the risk of damage.
* Take Pictures: Before disconnecting anything, take pictures to help you remember how things go back together.
* Patience: This is a time-consuming job, requiring patience and careful attention to detail.
* Professional Help: If you're not comfortable working on your car's electrical system, consider seeking professional help from a qualified mechanic.
