I have a 1971 olds 98 with a 455 in it. My passenger compartment fan works fine with vent, heat, defog, and deice modes. As soon as I turn the ac on the fan does not work at all. The ac is fully charged and engages when it is turned on. Someone said they thought there was a relay for this issue but not for sure. I need to know if this is the case and where to look for it. If there is a part number would be great to know as well. Thank You.

see pics for diagnosis. the blower relay will look llike one being pointed to in pic it is normally by the resistor on evaporator box. these also had a fuse that was inline I think it's on the intake not sure with that as it's been so long for me to see one.

Thank you for your help. Every thing works now. It ended up being the in-line fuse.
