Replace blower motor relays - Where?

[jasontfrance]

Hello!

I have a 2008 Mazda CX-9 and the rear control fans come on for about 30 seconds when the car is turned off. I read the TSB about the problem. I bought 2 blower motor relays.

But I don't know where the relays are on the vehicle. Is one somewhere on the driver's side, in the engine bay? And the other somewhere in the glovebox by the fuses? Are the original's black colored? The ones I got in the mail are blue.

I would like to replace these two myself, and save the hassle of driving the Mazda 45 minutes down to the road to the dealer. Which I guess, if I can't figure out where they are, I'll have to do that...

They are both located in the small fuse box that is closest to the drivers side fender. when you remove the cover you will see both relays you cannot miss it. They are the same size and stand out because they are slightly bigger. One is for the front and the other one is for the rear fan i believe. Hope that helps. It only took me ten minutes. Since the cover comes off i cleaned the cover as well to get the dust off.
