my fuse panel had 4 relays in it and one square box thingy.
one of the four relays was metal and had several painted prongs on it.
Q- i assume this one is not interchangeable with the other 3?
Q- but that the other 3 are interchangeable with each other?
Q- what will happen if i put the metal one in the wrong relay place?
the metal relay is at top right in pic.
i'm asking cause i jst put an engman panel in my car - see post #248.

Full Version: fuse panel - relay question
Left to right:
Buzzer, Aux headlights ( Fog lights?), fresh air fan, headlight dimmer relay.
This is from the Haynes manual, page 128.
Depending on previous owners and what they did also.
I put a J-west fuse panel in mine and may have mixed them up as to where the relay is on the board, however, I did label each relay as to it's function. Getting the relay sockets back in the holes in the new panel was a PITA. Old hard brittle rubber nubs. Actually cut one off and drilled thru the socket and used a small bolt and nut to secure the socket to the panel.

tom thanks.
seems haynes manual does not explain the round metal relay on the other side of the fuse panel?

Jim,
I noticed that also and haven't investigated why. I guess I am just lazy!
If you find out the answer, please post.
I guess the easiest way is to pull the relay and see what no longer works, don't know why I don't do that. Oh yea, I'm too lazy! And mine is on jack stands with the batt disconnected. And I'm too lazy!

You can also look at the wire colors that connect to the relay. Then match those up to the wiring diagram.
One of the things on top of the fuse panel should be the flasher relay. It's the thing that clicks when the parking brake is on.

The "fresh air blower relay" actually supplies switched power to a lot of systems on the car. You do need that one.
