Chris 0 Posted February 22, 2007 the car was working fine this morning, but on the way home from work tonight it started playing up. i was driving, turned my sidelights on, everything was fine, then turned my headlights on, the lights stayed on sidelights and the blower and rear window heater switched themselves off, when i turned the lights switch back to sidelights the blower/rear window heater/fog switches worked again. got home and checked it all out, now the blower/rear window heater/fog switches wont come on at all and i can still only get the sidelights to work. i checked all the fuses and they are fine, cant think why there'd be a problem with the wiring as i have only recently sorted it all out. i noticed one of the relays may control the dash switches, its the relay with the number 18 on it. could this be the problem?

mattkh 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Hi I take it the car is not a VR6. Right, is this relay the one that goes in your car in position 4. If it is then it is called the X-relay. It is also called load relief relay. Its job is to cut off the power to load bearing circuits when you crank the engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
