Guest alexunmodded Posted October 16, 2006 thanks for the swift reply,can u tell me where i would find the relay?? already looked on the main site but couldnt find where it is located thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lagonda 42 Posted October 19, 2006 You should find it under the dash, to the right of the accelerator pedal, screwed to the side of the car, although it may be hanging loose. It'll be a black box with wiring plugged in at one end. Mine's a late 89 car, I believe early (earlier than yours I think) cars had them under the bonnet, not sure where. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. mine was under the dash, up near the ecu which was just near where your right knee would be though the hole and up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted October 23, 2006 Ive got one that does the same thing, I popped the cover off and give the little spring a couple of extra winds to tighten it up, it seemed to help for a while but now Im looking for another relay. Try tapping the relay when it sticks on, mine used to shut off with a gentle tap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
