Relays *are* fun, but their locations? Turn signals needed
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:00 am
I couldn't find it in the FAQ -- and I don't have one of those glossy wiring sheets that I've seen on the interwebs -- but do y'all have a list of relays by year and function?
In my SoCal corrosion-free '80 528i US I see one common-looking relay *in* the steering column, one common relay on the side of the main wiring junction under the instrument cluster, and one not-common relay in a similar location. Under the hood there's the known ones in the box, plus one on the side and one on the front, and the magnificent combo relay. There's also one hiding under the rear seat, driver's side. And likely more I haven't yet fumbled upon. So what are all of the ones outside the labeled box?
I fixed my hazard switch detent and the hazards work great, now. The turn signals have never worked (in the 5 days I've had it running). I keep wanting to find a turn signal relay but following the wiring leads me to the under-dash junction, which then leads into the main loom and... ? Similarly, according to realoem there's a unique hazard relay in my car but I can't find it.
