relay identification

[keith-vznby]

Hi I am in the process of moving y battery to the boot, thought that while I was crawling about under there would replace the relays. Could one of you kind people identify which relay is which please and best place to get replacements cheers

[ukdj]

this should help....



All availale from local motor factors, most are common 4pin type available worst case in halfrauds with the exception of the fuel/ecu relays which are both bosch part no 0 332 014 112

Fusebox/Relay layout may differ between models but again most are the common 4 pin type with the exception of the interior light delay relay which is a ford part, this relay has part no. 85GG 13C718 AA on it and this apparently changed to 92GG 13C718 AA and the Ford FINIS no. is 6434052

That's a lovely fuse box,
And I know they vary but that's a very helpfull graphic, bit easier on the eye than in the bible

I bet 90 odd % of the fuses in my box are the original ones.
That's a thought from a car almost 17 years old

Yes and leave them that way the current quality of aftermarket fuses are absolute st, the ones we havefitted are of a quality that is hard to find now, this size fuse is obsolete on modern vehicles so crap quality stuff is churned out

I bought a couple of fuse box's complete with fuses off Ebay to get some OE quality spare fuses. Think one was LR Discovery but need to get a better price than this to make it worth while

The reason I ask is my flash will not work when lights are on low beam but work any other way ..

What is happening ?

[ClassicChimaera]

Check relay then the stalk, not much to them, mine did similar odd things, advised it was the stalk so got one from a Vauxhall online parts dealer and it's been sound since. Mk3 Astra I think.

[Sardonicus]

The Vauxhall Astra Nova Corsa Cavalier Vectra Carlton Omega stalks are notoriously unreliable since 1st trading for myself changed more than I care to remember on all of the above donor cars over a 25 year period and yes inc my own Chimaera flashing people by accident (main beam) changing lanes at night

[SILICONEKID345HP]

The flasher works with lights off and side lights on but not low beam .

[ClassicChimaera]

It's fked then

[SILICONEKID345HP]

I dont mind that Alun but which part ?

[phillpot]

My "guess" would be the stalk

Ohh Daz, if only I could use a computer properly id still have the details.
The stalk.
When you think about it the part must have been used by Vauxhall,around 88 onwards at least.

It's pretty generic, check the function is the same and it should be the one.
If you have alloy add on arms you'll need to cut the plastic arm off the new one but you'll see where when you remove the old one. Held on with a grub screw.
You'll remove the cowling etc to get access. It's easy enough even I did it.

I think I used this opportunity to add a couple of 1mm washers to my steering column fixing bolts, moved the steering wheel position down and more suited to my hand /wrist position, (made to measure)
