Hi there William. I have the same problem in my rocco. This is what I have
figured out to be happening. I can't be positive, just what I have seemed to
learn over the past few years. Same problem as you, I thought it was the Fan
relay, so I went to the junkyard and put a new one in. Problem solved for a
few days then the same thing. I managed to maneuver the relay in such a way
that it would finally let the fan run on the 4th speed. After a trip of
about a half hour I smelt some plastic burning smell, I looked down to find
the fuse, and fuse holder for tha a/c fan completely melted and fused, and
A/C relay extremely hot. Reapaired wireing and tried again watching the
relay get very hot agian. So what I think is happening is for some reason
the fan motor is drawing too many amps causing the relay to stop the fan.
Remedy is probably a new blower fan. I just don't use it on the 4th speed
and don't have the problem of it overheating.
