Relay location -- high speed and low speed fan relays

Post by xtlicious »

In scouring other threads it seems that E12's mostly had the high speed fan relay "hidden in front of the battery" and the low speed fan relay snapped onto the fusebox. Well, I have two relays snapped onto the fusebox (can't tell which is the low speed fan relay from the wire colors) and can't find any relay at all in front of the battery.

Am I way off base? Can any snap a pic or two of their low- and high-speed relays for me, please? Thanks...

I've only got one fan relay (1977) on the front of the fuse box. It seems with a labeled fuse box cover and multimeter in hand, you might be able to deduce which relay is which?
