Title: Fusebox Relay Problem
Post by Bill61 on Nov 14th, 2009, 8:43pm
Hi, please can anyone help me with a couple of small problems involving relays.
I recently had to remove the main fusebox to eliminate an electrical fault and whilst out I gave it a complete cleanup (all 11 layers).  Although the box had suffered as a result of water ingress I had a problem when I came to refitting some of the relays.
The small black Country Coding Plug (92GG 14K036 DB) that sits to the left of Relay 5 came apart during removal and I have no idea in which order to reassemble. What I need, if someone has a spare one to save taking their own one out, is a digital camera shot (JPG) of the underside, which is numbered and should make reassembly a doddle.

My second problem involves the 2 yellow heated rear screen relays (81AG 14N089 CA) and their corresponding yellow bases.  On a close examination I noticed the underside of each base pin arrangement was different and each has its own part number.  These are: 95GG 14K036 SA and the other has part number 95 14K036 TA.
They will both locate in either 4 or 5 relay slot but I would like to get it right as presumeably there is a good reason as to why they are different.
If anyone can confirm which goes where I would be very grateful.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello Bill (is it Bill?) Welcome to the site  ;D

Only got a mobile phone to hand till tomorrow, can take a better one if needed then

F = Front of car
R = Rear of car
OS = OffSide

The screen relays are as they should be front /rear although not necessarily in the correct orientaion (never checked)

The small black one : The OS side is facing the correct way, to fit it in the fusebox it would be flipped F to R if that makes sense, so the R is where F would be with the OS remaining at the same side.. Make sense??

Hope that helps

That did it. Exactly what I was after.
Many thanks Highlander for the detailed image. It just goes to show even when two things look alike from above, it's below what actually matters, so a bit of caution on my part early on wouldn't have gone amiss. I'll know better next time.

Thanks for the welcome as well. This forum is really something else.
Bill
