I also own an E3EB-0XXH air handler. The blower comes with a 4-speed motor that in your instance should be running on HIGH.

I did similar 'upgrades' to mine as the cabinet is way too air leaky. I went crazy with foil tape and foam gasket material on the access doors.

Remove the door over the 2 breakers on the unit and shut them off, then remove the access cover to the electrical components. Mine is an upflow, so my fan relay is on the lower right, if yours is downflow, it may be upper left. Follow the wires (for me they are: red - LOW , yellow - ML, blue - MH, black - HIGH) from your blower motor and make sure that the high speed wire is connected to the fan relay.

Here's some links that will help.

mine is also upflow relay is in same place.here is how mine relay is wired pin #1 red pin #2 yellow pin #3 blue pin #4 black. i think it might be right but i would not bet on it. was your wired wrong and you had to change? cant seem to get trailer place to help me out on this.before i taped up the doors the acoil would freeze up everyday.i done everything from washing out outside unit to washing out acoil and filter,still would freeze up.i was getting a little air though vents,and not real cold.now that i taped up doors am getting a little air and its real cold.i have been in attic(wasnt easy) there is no leaks.on most vents you cant hardly feel air but you can feel the cold.the other vents you feel a little air.i put ribbins on the vents so i could see it better.any help on this would be thankful. i live in western oklahoma,about 4 or 5 a clock temp inside is about 92f or 93.i think it would do a better job if i could get more air though vents,it comes out real cold.trailer place blames it on a really hot summer,witch it has been.but it should do better than that.

Mine was default wired to run on HIGH for a/c and MEDIUM-LOW for heat, I lowered my blower speed to MEDIUM-HIGH for a/c because we didn't need it moving that much air (3-1/2 ton).

There are 6 pins at the fan relay. Yellow should be to pin #6, black should be pin #4. The wire color being referenced are from the blower motor. If you look at the motor, you will see a harness of 6 wires that plugs into the top of the cabinet, follow it up through the cabinet to next to the fan relay. Make sure the yellow and black are hooked up next to each other on the fan relay shown in the wiring diagram pdf.

On my return, I noticed that how dusty the outside of his car was and cleaned it up a bit.When I finally entered the house, I

called out."The woman who loves you the most in the world just cleaned your headlights and windshield."
My husband looked up and said, "Mom's here?"
