To find it, you need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual will show a diagram of the fuse box and relay locations specific to your S-10's year and model.
2. Locate the under-hood fuse box: This is typically located under the hood, often near the battery.
3. Examine the fuse box diagrams: The inside cover of the fuse box should have a diagram showing the location of relays and fuses. Look for a relay labeled "blower motor," "HVAC," "heater," or something similar. Sometimes the diagram uses a symbol for a relay instead of the word.
4. Check related control modules (less likely): In some later model years, the blower motor control might be handled by a body control module (BCM) instead of a simple relay. This would require a diagnostic scan tool to test the BCM and its programming.
If you can't find it using the manual and fuse box diagram:
* Search online forums: Search online forums specific to your S-10's year and model (e.g., "S10 blower motor relay location 1998"). Other owners may have posted pictures or detailed instructions.
* Consult a mechanic: If you're uncomfortable working with your vehicle's electrical system, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic.
Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on any electrical components in your vehicle.
