Thread: D3 Aircon Blower Relay

This time of year gets a bit warm in Perth and I need a little assistance with how to replace the Blower Relay designated R16 in the fuse panel next to the main battery. The air conditioning works but the front blower doesn't. Well it doesn't until I give R16 a little nudge/wiggle/push and then there is a noticeable "click" and it starts working.



First I need to know how to remove the relay. I gave it a reasonable tug and it didn't budge and I don't want to go into gorilla mode and try to reef it out in case I stuff it completely. Being the Christmas period there will be nowhere I can get anything done until the middle of January. So do these relays just pull out or do I require a Discovery Specific Relay Removal Tool that can only be used once I remove the rear seat and the left headlight?

Are the relays readily available and if so where? Will I need a second mortgage to pay for one?

Thanks very much in advance.

Mike
