My car is a 1998 400 chimaera, I am trying to trace out some wires under the dsah, I know that tvr did change the position of relays etc over the years. Anyone know what is what from the pic below. I know that the two yellow relays are for the door openers.
Relay 2 is the flasher.
what circuits do relays 5 and 6 control?
The other relay positions appear to be wired up (1,3 & 4) but there are no relays in them, anyone any idea as to what they could be for, ie heated seats, or ??
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given, Chris.

One of the missing relays will be for Aircon.

Can't remember which position mind!! And, yes, I'd agree, there will be a position for heated seats which some of the cars had fitted.

My dash top is off at the moment. On my 2000 model, the 2 yellow relays are in positions 3 and 4 with no separate relays. It does not have air-con.

Has yours got the door release under the mirrors? 97/98 was the changeover period so maybe it is to do with the door locks.

I don't have a chim, but with my Tuscan the handbook that details the fuses also says which relay does what...

Both 5 and 6 are related to the hazards.
One connects the flasher unit to both sets of indicators so is a relay with pin 87 and pin 87b
The other switches power to the flasher unit so it runs of ignition feed or permanent +12v.
