Ac fan relay

Hi I replaced the blower motor on my k5 and am getting power to the relay (little grey box by fan) but no power out of the relay through the purple wire that goes to the fan. The relay is brand new. Has anyone had a new one that is just junk?

Hello Nolan! I hope all is well.

There is two things going on here or two circuits working here.

I can't make out the numbers on the connector.

1) First check when you turn power on to your fan, you should get power to either 3 or 4 terminal, depending which wire is feeding that coil from the switch.

When you turn on the switch power goes to the coil magnetizeding the the metal core making terminal #1 mechanism move or change contact position from (NC) #1 and #5 normally closed
to (NO) #1 and #2 normally open position.

What happens there all it does is turn the switch to run on or turn off blower.

2) The second circuit is that you should have power on terminal # 1 when you turn on the fan switch. What happens it changes the position of the normally open to the closed position sending power from #1 to
# 2 terminal feeding the fan.

The picture on the relay switch shows the coil de-energized / no power to the coil.

Check out the GIF animation.

This video has a good explanation also.

Might be your resistor that feeds the other side of the relay coil.

Check them out. I hope I was able to help.

Be well and stay safe out there.
Best wishes to you and all of your loved ones always!

Sincerely,
