Title: Where do the relays go? *Solved*
Post by: 84 Fila on July 26, 2006, 05:30:30 PM
I was cleaning up the Fila today and found these in the trunk in a coffee can with some assorted bolts. I'm wondering what they are and ware they go?

Those are relays that go up under the dash, on the inside of the column...kinda of a PITA to get to.
On second glance, the may also be the ones near the glovebox, also under the dash. I'm sure Thunderchicken can say exactly where they go, though. (and what they go to, for that matter)

On my cars, the FP relay is located in the upper right rear portion of the trunk.

When you find who butchered the wiring harness on you car...feel free to torture them.

Yeah, the fuel pump relay goes somewhere around the passenger side trunk hinge.

Is the other one brown or is it black and caked in dirt?
Looks like one that mounts somwhere behind the passenger side strut tower to me. I dunno.

Part number should help if you have it.

The brown one is the EEC power relay.  Usually that is high on the pass kick panel up under the dash.  If that's not installed, no wonder the car isn't running.

That ECU you found is probably the one for your car.  If you pull the pass side kick panel and there isn't one there...well there you go. 

That guy did a number on that wiring harness if all those pieces are chopped out.

Just carb the friggen thing and be done with it.......

I don't have the funds to do carb right now. I'm starting a new job tomorow so maybe. There is a EEC in it, the one I have is an extra. Ware exactly does the brown one go? Under dash, near glovebox?

Maybe those are just spares. Or ones that are extra from them buying new ones to trouble shoot a problem. Why else would you have the extra ECU and stuff if those are already put on the car.
