New Headlight relay, extra terminal Options

[malcolm2]

I saw a thread on here somewhere, but of course, I did not bookmark it, or add to it, and I can't find it now....

But I bought a new High Beam Relay or Headlight relay, whatever it is called. It has an extra blade (30 IIRC). On the thread that I can't find, it was noted that the extra post has to be jumped to one of the 4 others.

Truthfully, that is what I can't remember. So does it jump to 56a, S, 56b or 56?

And if anyone can find the thread, please add it here.

Thanks,

Clark

Everybody that has taken a car apart has some. I have never seen one go bad. I am sure there are exceptions though.

I've had several. The 'new' VW ones are so flimsy that I broke one just squeezing it trying to get it into the socket.

If I could find a reliable source of empty relay housings (or EP26 / EP27 flashers) I'd make a batch of the software-controlled one that I designed (*nudge* spoke *nudge*)...
