Relays, HELPPPPP Options

[Mavrick272]

On my 914, for reasons known only to God, the idiot who owned it before me removed some of the relays
On the relay board in the engine compartment there are a few missing (some of which I think are suppose to be gone, but not sure)
On the relay/regulator board/thing underneath the passenger's seat, all of the relays are gone
On the relay board on the fuse panel a few are missing as well
I have a '74 914 with original fuel injection
I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the correct setup or has any advice for me on locating replacement relays or what the relays are even for (The Haynes manual isn't very useful for this, unless I'm just looking in the wrong spot)



thank you

Under seat circuit is called a "logic circuit" and it is not a relay in any way.
Under the seat you just need to make sure that the two large yellow wires are connected, then you can tuck that wiring loop back into the tunnel.
If you want the seat buzzer and door ajar thing, you will need to re-wire those. I believe the interior light is also looped through that "logic circuit" and will need to be spliced so the light works...but I cant remember how we did that. just follow the wires...there are two that go up under the back pad for the light.

The Relay board in the engine compartment is generic..its original design is for the DJet FI system. They left it there for simple wiring.
As Dave said above, you only use one relay in that board when you have LJet.
the main FI relays on LJet are mounted to the bottom of the battery tray and are in a single rectangular aluminum container about 2 inches long.
The relays look like small candles...

Missing relays on the main fuse board...dunno which ones, but all my cars have empty relay slots in the main fuse panel...
As long as you have relays for the options that your car has...you are good to go.

If you collect extra round relays, keep them plugged into the spare slots in the relay board in the engine bay...that way they are always with you...its a great place to store spare relays.
