help where can i find the drivers side light pod relay?

[andrew tolley]

hi guys a few weeks ago the drivers side light pod stopped lifting when lights were switched on, so i manually wound it up and pulled the fuses so i could take it for the mot, i need to sort this problem, i read on here someone had the same problem and they changed the relay to fix it, but where can i find the drivers side light pod relay?

Andy,assuming they are all the same I would expect the relay board to be fairly high up in passenger footwell behind drop down hatch,approx a foot in front of fuse as the crow flies if fuses are in glove box,john

All the relays 'should' be located in a block above the ECU which is above a drop down panel in the passenger footwell.
Well worth checking and cleaning the multi-plugs within the headlamp pods, when I first got mine they were heavily corroded. A good clean, replaced a couple of termianls and all was well again.
In case you don't know, once you have the light pods raised pull the fuses for the pods and they will stay up whilst turning the headlamps off.

Should have a rubber stop. On my 350 it resembled a 2 inch strip of bicycle tyre!

Failing that you have slack in the linkages.
