Thanks guys. How much do the relays typically run. If they're cheap, first step might just be to replace those...

First step should be just to test them via the touch and click method thstone mentioned. Really, it's pretty easy to do. Did mine this way trying to figure out why my drivers side fan would not work in low speed.

If you plan to keep the car though, get a Durametric or used PST2/PWIS so you can perform better diagnostics and turn on functions like this. It'll be worth the money you'll save going to the dealer the first time you use it.

The relays are cheap ($10) but its almost never the relays. That would be too easy and too inexpensive.

Thanks, I'll probably bag a relay or two just to be on the safe side!
