If you're talking about the dimmer relay 111 941 583 there should be a solid red wire from a constant 12v source on the "30" terminal. Not red with a white stripe, which is 12v switched on the 56 terminal.
The little yellow/red wire (on the S terminal) is the ground tickler from the dimmer switch on your steering column. When it is momentarily clicked it switches the power from 56 between 56a and 56b. If you're looking at the factory wiring diagrams, F is actually 56b on the relay. Note: There is a circuit difference between the wiring diagram (which doesn't show the "30" terminal) and the relay. The relay powers one side of the coil from "30". The wiring diagram powers that side of the coil internally with 12v from "56". Logically, they both get the job done. Good Luck |
