Yesterday while doing a simple j pipe swap (pos. terminal disconected from bat), I reconnected the fan and the fan wouldnt turn on (16" spal connected to stock AC fan harness). I started freaking thinking it was the fan, but I tested it by connecting it straight to the battery, and the thing almost ripped out of my hands (wasnt expecting that much torque in that little time). Anyways I check the AC harness with a volt meter, and at first only got 6 volts, then it dropped to .1/0. Now my friend says it could be a burnt relay?

first question by relay does he mean the fuses in the fuse box next to cruise control????
And if so how much would these relays cost to repair?!?!? (Im on a REAL tight budget this month, as my bank has decided to screw me >.<)

My second option would be to create a switch and wire it directly to the ignition or another 12v source. (I would rather not hit up this option as anyone who has seen my "wireing" skills knows im not what I'd call gifted in that area :confused: )

Car still turns on and everything (ac inside car still blows warm obviously but still blows). All help is GREATLY appreciated, as this is my daily, and need to get it driving again so I can get to work :p
