Okay remove fuse no.3 30amp if it stops -the red and purple wire are shorted together within the wiring could be at the relay'

The purple wire is coming from the power side of the blower motor and the red is coming from the fuse-if this 2 - touches it will constantly power the blower motor

The purple wire is the positive side of the blower motor if there's no power here the blower motor will not come On its the power feed wire.

The red wire is coming from the no.3 30amp that has power at all times no switch control on it then goes to the relay when the relay is energized power is transfered to the purple to fire up the blower motor.

When you pull the blower motor relay this cuts the power off between the blower switch and motor-and if this 2 wires are shorted together the motor will contantly run

there is 2 plugs on this module 1 plug has a single red wire always hot. the other plug has 3 wires a purple, a black and blk/grey stripe. the purple wire splits 1 to the blower the other goes inside the car.
