Can someone please tell me what each of these relays control? I am also wondering about the silver square one in the middle as it is completely different from the round ones...I just installed a new relay with new headlights; that is the black square relay pictured..
Also, I have lost my turn signals, parking brake warning light (flasher) and drivers side running lights.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) OOPS, 74 2.0  |

QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Jan 16 2012, 07:29 AM)  That relay in the turn signal flasher relay p[osition sure doesn't look like the correct part .................. The Cap'n Thats because it is not the right part. That was my screw up initially. Put the original flasher relay and I got everythig back. My new delima is this. I was sent a 40a relay for the new headlighs from PP. Tried to install that new relay and I cant get the lights to work. I figured out the following (at least I think I did) for the wires leading up to the relay. Red wire, power White wire, high beams Yellow wire, low beams Yellow/Red wire, high/low switch Ok, so I wired the new 40a relay as follows, Red into the 30 Yellow/Red in the 87 Yellow in the 85 White in the 86 Looking at the pic, does this look like the right way?  Nothing is working. I put on the old relay and everything works again as normal. My concern is that the new lights are too much for the old relay and it will eventually fail. Any ideas? |

QUOTE(914Bryan @ Jan 16 2012, 12:35 PM) Any ideas? If memory serves me, that relay is not supposed to be used as a replacement for the stock relay. I have a set of new 100W headlights and they came with relays just like yours, but the instructions with them state that you need to rewire your car and not use the stock wiring and relays since neither was build to handle those loads.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Oh, boy. The instructions never said anything about rewiring and the PP website only suggests the bigger relay as prevention of blown fuses and is recommended for 100w bulbs...Gotta look into this some more.. But that aside, I still cant figure out why the relay wont work in the first place and only the old one does... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |
