The A/C blower motor stopped on my 1998 GS300.

While driving with the A/C on, air stopped coming out of the vents. I turned the control to 'off' and then back to 'auto', with no luck. I shut off the car for about 10 minutes. When I restarted the car I turned the A/C control to "auto". The fan came on and ran for about 5 seconds, then shut off again. Since then I've not been able to get the fan to turn on. I've removed the batter cable for 10 minutes, reconnected and restarted the car with no luck. I pulled the cabin air filter and looked for blockages. I plan to pull the blower motor out and connect it directly to 12V power to see if it works at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.

I pulled and replaced the actual fan motor - it DOES work.

I pulled the glove box, but did not see anthing that looked like the Control Blower Motor pictured in the post.

Can anyone point me to the location of the Control Blower Motor, or the Blower Motor Relay in a 1998 GS300? There are many relays; hard to tell which one it might be.

thank you
