I cannot locate the high/low headlight relay on my 1970 914/6. By most accounts it lives on or near the fuse panel under the dash. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it, and before I start pulling the dash apart I’m hoping someone out there will enlighten me. The car is not stock…it is now a GT Tribute running a 3.2L. Here’s a pic of the fuse panel
BTW, What is up with nothing attached at position #3? I would love to hear opinions on that too. Attached thumbnail(s) |

10-4 on the #3 position…you can see in my picture it’s combined. Whew!
This is a factory 914/6 and am I correct that its fuse panel does not look like the /4 panel? I labeled these relays after removing each one at a time to see what still worked and did not. Let me walk through that: - Removing the Black Square relay only affected the hazard flashers (it wouldn’t work) yet the turn indicators still worked. That’s why I crossed out “turn sig”. - Round one that I marked “turn” was removed and the turn indicators stopped working, but the hazard lights worked. The part number indicates a generic all-purpose relay - Next Round one seems only to impact the fog lights. This is the same generic all-purpose relay. - Last Round one is a buzzer that supposed to work if the key is left in the ignition. Part number confirmed that. The “Fuel” label is just wrong. What started all this is my left headlight goes out when I turn on my high beams. I figured a quick swap of the relay would do the trick (wherever it is), and while I’m at it I was going to install a new @Jwest fuse panel, AND get my fog light to work without my headlights on. I wanted to do one thing at a time so if something went wrong I would know what I screwed up. @ClayPerrine and @davep - Your comments about the square relay make sense since it was not attached to the fuse panel and the wires look too short to do that anyway. Does this change anyone’s advice? |
