The 1.9L vans and the later without AC do not have that big additional relay above the fuse panel. They use a 2 speed fan motor instead of the monster motor with the resistor for the lower speeds. The high speed relay is with the fuse rack. Dennis

If you don't hear the relay then the motor isn't going to be getting power from the relay.

Don’t remember the fuse number. Check fuse 1 also.
