The relays are very reliable. It's very rare that a forum member reports a failure but remember that if this does happen, the relay contacts stick together permanently which results in the fan running constantly. As I understand it, that isn't what you're experiencing.

Don't get hung up on the relays Fred. The first thing we need to know is whether the slow speed is working. The easiest way to check that is the 'demist test'. Just a reminder that the engine needs to be running.
