western Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Check the wire colours against the appropriate wiring diagram, the wire colour code will note what they are for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 The turbo diesel wiring diagram doesnt show the relays (i have 4 plus the empty red)apart from the one on the start circuit to the pdwa Blue wires are light feeds from the main light switch and go to the indicator switch and feed to fuse box for rear fogs As it's never had a relay in I'll take the wires out and heatshrink the old connectors and use it for the timer As I'm fitting a mud dash I'll repurpose any of the lives in the multi plug for feeds to the aux switches that feed the power relays for the front and rear work lights It was more being curious as to what they were for really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 There should be a metal cased relay for headlights, My 110 was a TD, I don't remember a red relay socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Have you got blade or glass fuses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Bladed It was the last of the td's before the 200tdi came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 I may look for a 200 wiring diagram to see if it shows up on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I can't clearly see the wiring colours on the red socket, thick blue wires suggest headlights so something related to those at a rough guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Is it the dim/dip 'relay' holder? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Could be for dim dip, if there are 2 blue/red trace wires join those with a jumper wire or the dummy relay then dim dip will work but thought that was located behind instrument pack as on 300tdi defenders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 i'll try to get the full colours and pin numbers for the relay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 the relay had a brown permament live a blue trigger and a blue output with a brownish sleeve on i found the blues didn't link to anything using a continuity tester but i did have to repair the blue feed from the light switch to th indicator switch with a new wite and also the blue feed to the fog light fuse with a new wire so i concluded that the lack of continuity was down to the original brocken blue wire in the loom and me running the new wires had if not isolated the relay trigger i've now re purposed it for my windscreen relay if i get time today i'll be doing a bit more continuity checks on the plug behind the dash but i think it'll get taped up out of the way with the other un needed wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
