Good luck.

blower relay will be near or in the fuse box under the hood. this is most likely the cause, but could also be a short.

Fuses & RelaysThe fuse box is located under the engine hood on the left side, near the upper strut housing or near the battery.
Various relays are also mounted on the fuse box for easy accessibility.



Flashers
The flashers are located behind the bottom center of the lower instrument trim panel.

Hope helped.

The ECU would be another place to look. This is really sad and I can see you could spend a lot of money chasing a solution. My suggestion is, spend the money once, go to an Auto Electrician and get them to provide the answer which should be pretty quick.

you actually have a few different fuse locations. the main fuse box is located inside the glove box. open the glove box and look up. you should see 2 white tabs. twist them either clockwise or counter clockwise 1/4 turn.the panel should then be exposed. a sheet with the fuses and descriptions should be there to.
