Is it just my location here in South Arkansas/North Louisiana that I can't find the correct relays for the a/c and the a/c fan? I bought what the parts store said was the correct rela but when I cross referenced the numbers it did not have near enough amps. I only looked it up after the brand new one burnt out in two hours.

Is there a part number on the original one you can do a google search to try and find one?

Theres your problem--never go in an auto parts store without knowing EXACTLY what you need. NEVER take their word for any part.

Thanks for the advice and the offer for a used one. I cross referenced the numbers and ordered 4 of them off ebay.
