Default A/C won't blow air..

I have a 2005 tC and no air will come out of the vents. I think it might be the relay, but I'm not sure where to find it. I have read that the relay to the A/C blower is behind the glove box
and next to the blower, but I don't see a relay. I checked in the Fuse/Relay box, but I don't know which one it would be if it is in there at all. The diagram isn't too specific.
Lol, I live in AZ and it is HOT.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!

Check your owners manual.

The breeze when it's 115 outside isn't very nice. I don't have the manual.

I just moved back from Arizona, you need air. You'll see your blower behind the glove box and there is a 4" x 4" metal box with a 2" x 1" metal box on it/next to it. That smaller box is your evacuation valve, that might be the problem. Try replacing that, but clear your lines first with a pump. You have checked your pressure right? So you know it's not your system that just needs refilling? Because that happens too.

So my blower motor is bad. Does anybody know how to replace that or where I can figure out how? I was told that it would cost $420 for parts and labor. I don't know if that is a good price or not, but I'd much rather do it myself if possible.

that is ridiculous $420! wow.. all there is down there is a panel below the glove box, that unclips, then the blower motor is right there. It's held in my three hex head bolt/screws, I think they're 10mm. And unplug the electrical connector. Takes 15 min at the most. Sure, you're bending and laying upside down trying to get it out, but it can be done in about 15-20min. Please don't waste your money for $420!

In the tech section there should be a picture of it all.. I'll try and find a link.

UPDATE: here it is.. found it in our tech section here at scionlife. The blower motor is in the lower right part of the image. Has a "squirrel cage" round fan type blower.

Default To be more specific...

I've got an 05 xA. I saw in another forum to "tap" the steel box (which I'm hoping wasn't the ECM) under the glove box to get it to work.

It works for a week. Now the fans are slowly dying. Blower motor?
