Foglights relay
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2009 4:12 pm
My fusebox has had water leaking into it for several months, I've got heaters, dehumidifiers and a hairdryer in the car drying everything out again but I've taken all the relays out and some of them are pretty wet and rusty. I've prised some of them open and left them drying out but a couple of them don't open, and one of them looks beyond hope.
I failed the MOT last week and the only thing I haven't managed to fix yet is that the foglights and the foglight indicator on the dashboard aren't working. I have a feeling that it is the damaged relay. Can anyone confirm which relay does the foglights please, I think it is number 15 (sits in position number 7- bottom row left hand side)?
The one to the right of this (position number 8) currently has relay number 18 in it, but turned upside down. The haynes manual says this is the 'X contact relief relay' which means nothing to me. Should I have a different relay in it? I'm not sure if it has been bodged as it is the wrong way up.
Does anyone have a spare foglights relay I could buy please- assuming it is the one I think. Got to get the retest by this Friday so time is of the essence.
Hope someone can help- I'd be lost without this forum.
