   Just where do they mount that blower motor relay. I find that the blower   
   motor relay in my Silverado is a little discolored but no melting to speak   
   of. The control switch is on the dash, but the actual relay and motor   
   speed resistor pak is under the dash next to the blower motor. It's in a   
   little vented box (next to the cabin filter housing) which I think helps   
   to keep it cool. Mine is 11 years old and no issues yet.

   Check the amperage load on that motor in each speed range. Too much of a   
   load will create a lot of heat that the relay and resister pak has to   
   handle.
