    Light retraction relay circuit diagram

    Thanks both of you, I'm sure you are both right. If I had sense I wouldn't be messing with a 21 year old car to start with, but it keeps me off the streets. If I find something interesting trying to fix the board I'll let everyone know. Its faster to swap the transister than find a junk yard in...

    Light retraction relay circuit diagram

    I just checked it. connect 2 and 18: tail lights come on. Short pin 13 to ground wiht IR2 relay in: nothing happens. I have the relay, have identified relevant wires, resistor, ?diode, transistor and IC, visually everything looks fine. It would be fun to learn how to fix the...

    Light retraction relay circuit diagram

    I have trouble with my tail lights. They don't switch on unless use a jumper wire in the tail light Relay socket to close the circuit manually. Relay and fuse check out okay, so I pulled the Integration Relay #2, AKA headlight retraction relay in the blue case behind the fog light switch. I...

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    Vaporized heavy metals? Singed fingers? I'm all there! If you don't hear back it means I'm good and it's what you said. Otherwise I'll let you know. Thanks again for the tips.

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    Thanks. The Light Retractor Relay i've seen, now i get it. Thansk for the diagrams. I'll be good from here.

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    Thanks. The lights work with terminals 2 and 4 jumpered. The relay works with the control pin grounded, out of the car. I haven't found the Intergration relay #2 yet, so I haven't done exactly the test you suggest, but the odd reaction to the DMM test current on the Ohm setting suggests I am...

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    BTW, thanks JJ, I'm studying the diagram you sent me.

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    I did check the dimmer, but I'll take one dummy point: the "grounded sided" of the fuse is the load side, and everything works with voltage applied to that. Now my problem is that the relay won't come on, though the relay tests good, replacing it doesn't help. The switch itself seems to be...

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    I frustrated trying to get my tail lights and instrument panel illumination working. First the tail lights were out, but not the instrument panel - traced that to a rusted and broken wired due to hole in the body behind LR tire. While taking apart the steering column covers and Driver side...
