I'd like to eliminate the electrical relay box and associated wiring that's under the passenger seat. Most of the connections look pretty bad and a PO did bypass some of the connections.
I'm never going to restore this car back to stock '75 specs. I think this it's just something that's eventually going to go wrong. Has anyone else eliminated this stuff? ... and how did you do it? |

Bypass the two large yellow wires, other than that the other wires can just be abandoned. Leave them in the relay base or wrap them to assure they do not short to ground if you don't have the relay base any longer.

Bypass the two large yellow wires, other than that the other wires can just be abandoned. Leave them in the relay base or wrap them to assure they do not short to ground if you don't have the relay base any longer. Thanks Ron & Jeff. The large yellow wire is already spliced together. The problem I have, is that the plastic terminal block next to the relay is pretty deteriorated and some of the connection tabs are gone. Also, some of the slide on lugs on the wiring ends have corroded away and are already taped up. I was hoping I could just remove the whole mess if possible, but I've never been able to decipher Porsche's electrical diagrams (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
