Ok  thanks 

Just took a look for the relay block for the high speed fan relay for ac     Using the Bentley as a guide 

Removed the bottom grill cover and see wires connected looking through a small hole in the fiber shield  which most likely are for the High speed ac fan  

But there is that fiber shield for directing air flow that restricts access … did remove one screw securing it to the front sheet metal 

Am not sure how to remove the fiber air flow director thing without damaging it  

Any tips on removing it   

And am I in the correct place ?

thanks again for all

From a service point of view consider placing the relay near the fuse box, marked and obvious for its purpose. The advantages include where to look when needed and the wire that is powered full time is kept short. If this is a late model with AC you can also pick battery power from the relay block for the high speed fan relay. This is dedicated feed from the battery that is only used for high speed fan operation. This is also a good spot for headlight supply.
