Let me expound--I have a heater blower that works intermittently. It appears that it has something to do with temperature. The colder it is outside the less likely the blower will work. When it is above 14 degrees F and you allow the car to completely warm up while it is sitting still, there is a good chance the blower will work. IF the blower kicks on it appears to work correctly either on manual or automatic (I have the automatic climate control) and will work on all speeds and continue until the car is shut off and allowed to cool. I found a person with a similar issue and a heater blower relay was his solution. I have looked at pictures of a new relay and it appears to be a 5 pin relay and it is green. I cannot find a relay like that in my car. The only relay I can find with the same corresponding terminal numbers is in the fuse block, it is reddish\orange, and only has 4 pins. Can anyone tell me if the green 5 pin is a replacement? Am I looking in the wrong place? The diagram on the fuse block shows nothing on the relays and any diagrams I find online do not look like my fuse block. Any help would be appreciated

Update-I replaced the blower relay and the blower still does not work when cold. Does anyone have any idea what to check next?
