Uh, Woody -- unless they changed things in the late models (my Bentley is
buried in snow in the driveway) there is no such relay.  Wire goes from
fuse over to switch, then from switch directly to fan and also to two taps
on fan resistor.  Maybe a PO put a relay in yours, the way VW should
have?  It would be pretty simple as long as they only ran the high-speed
lead through the relay (which is the one that needs it).  But controlling
all three speeds would mean three relays.
