I started my car tonight and noticed despite the headlight switch being fully in the off position, my dash lights are on and my license plate light is .
Odd. Never saw that before. Headlight switch I imagine.... Thoughts? David Addedum-and saw what I thought was a wisp of smoke come from under my dash at the windshield....perhaps my imagination? |

Sorry, I just noticed a typo! The third of the diagrams should be
http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73C.jpg That's another page of actual diagrams, not just labels. It also shows most of the relays. Hard to see some of the wire colors, but from seeing a bit of yellow on relay C I would say that is the horn relay (#51 in the diagram). Part #54 is the "fresh air fan" relay, and the diagram shows red, black/red, red/white, and brown wires. That could match either B or D from your photo--again, the colors are a little hard to see, especially the tracers. Anyway, match up the wire colors on the relay sockets with the diagrams and you should be able to see which relays are what. --DD |
