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)

The high beam wire (white) was broken at the plastic plug that attaches to the back of the headlight. I cleaned it up and re-soldered it to the female spade connector. It had nothing to do with the high/low relay.
Now to get my fog lights to come on without the headlights being on. Thanks everyone for your help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE(davenorcal @ Mar 29 2023, 11:06 PM)  Now to get my fog lights to come on without the headlights being on. On the back of the fuse box, there is a wire attached to the low beam circuit that goes to the fog light relay. If it is energized, the fog light relay gets power and the fog lights will come on. It is going to be crimped into one connector with the low beam light power wire. Separate the two wires, and move the one for the fog light relay to the park light circuit, or if you choose, to the ignition circuit (IIRC, Fuse #8). That way the fog lights go off when the ignition is off. I can get you wire colors later, but I am at work now and the 914-6 is at home. |

Clay, I love the idea of leaving the switch “on” to have the fog lights be lighted whenever the car is running. How civilized! |
