Relays....

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

Have a look at my pitcure please.

 

Can you please tell me what each of these plugs and relays are for and what all of the plugs do?

 

I am having a few electrical issues and I am trying to solve some various issues (french wires rule)

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Also, if you look to the left of the picture, there is a white wire that has been cut and looped and tied up with insulting tape. Any idea what this is of why it could have been clipped?

 

Thanks, ORB

the grey plug (3rd in from left) looks like the fan plug n a 205gti this is a 205 i take it? which engines fitted-gti/mi/gti6?

If it's got A/C you should have 2 fan relays for a start, can only see one unless it's the picture, Also normally you'll have a purple relay for the A/C again

Thats the twin fan control box. I can see by that pic you have A/C fitted so there should be 4 relays. Not sure about the wire loop thats been added, maybe for bypassing the A/C pressure switch to get the A/C working.

Cool. Thanks! (the air con does not work though!)

 

So nothing to do with the horn then in there

[ade 4wd 11]

No, just for controlling the rad fans. The horn relay is in a small black plastic box next to the front strut top (passengers side).

I thought it was one of them relays, but not sure what relay in there is what ?

[ade 4wd 11]

In that relay box there is horn relay, dim/dip relay and if motronic with cat an injection relay.

Cool, don't suppose you know what one is what?

[ade 4wd 11]

I thought you might ask that. I will check at lunchtime and let you know. Can you hear a relay click when you opperate the horn?

[ade 4wd 11]

The horn relay has a green socket.

Thanks for that. No relay clicking on pressing the horn stalk...

 

Bloody thing.

Hmm, I now have a relay clicking in the engine bay when I press the horn, after sorting out some dodgy alarm wiring under the steering cover.

 

Now, I must trace the relay back to try to find the fault. Bloody thing.
