Huge favour...

Would one of you kind gents mind taking me a picture of the front of your fuse box I'm the passenger footwell clear enough so I can read which relay numbers go in which sockets? There is a mix of 150s and 151s. Both serving a different purpose. If not a picture just where each one is situated? In have the us manual but they use a different setup with an extra bank of relays.

Massive thank you!

Sorry to bump this, if there is absolutely any chance of somebody doing this tonight, I would be eternally grateful! Car in bits...!

Off the back of this, in any event that anybody has a picture of the back of their fuse box, I am in need. It seem's my fusebox had been poorly repaired, with various connectors falling out upon moving it. I now have no blowers / ac, and it sounds like the coolant / condenser fan is running permanently. All relays tested, all relay locations checked (2 different types of relay), I have the US wiring diagram but this shows an extra bank of relays / different wiring so it's not the most useful diagram. Not expecting anybody to unbolt it, just on the off chance somebody had pictured it...

I am pretty sure that the US diagram is correct,

[BlueM12]

The US diagrams (both wiring and pictures of the fusebox) depict a 4th row of relays, our cars having 3. The diagram for the HVAC circuits run through relays N, O and P all recirc relays These technically don't exist on the UK layout. We also don't run the diode in the bottom left of the fusebox.

[Adrian W]

what car have you got? when did you buy it? why are you having so many problems?

[BlueM12]

Late 02 GTO 3. About two years ago. Due to previous poor repairs. Some of which seemingly from authorised dealerships. These have caused various terminals in the fuse box to melt. Now I'm trying to repair the damage whilst battling other peoples repairs and ascertain colour coding, correct relay connections/commons etc.

All started off with a lumpy idle...

The reason i asked is that i am pretty sure my car has four rows of relays, but you said our cars

[BlueM12]

Here's the grounds for my assumption; the supplied handbook (factory) shows three, I have three, and the picture kindly posted from another members car shows three. Not sure what the differential is here.

[BlueM12]

Is yours a 3/3R/400? Looking at MR2's profile above looks like he has a 3 / 3 rows. Found another pic of a 3R fusebox online and that has 4 rows.

Oh the joys. Spoken with the factory but they can't find the diagrams.

Well the good news is it's now sorted. I have fitted a new fusebox in it's entirety and the electrics have never been better. No more dimming of lights when other things are switched on, and all new crimped and soldered connections.

After speaking with Noble earlier (who were very helpful), I spoke with a technician that built the M12. There was never a GTO 3 wiring diagram, The diagrams available suit later 3R's and M400's. Hence my confusion and missing relays. I am actually going to make my own diagram up of the wiring on the fusebox for future reference should anybody need some assistance in future.

Thanks
