Hi All,

Trying to buy some relays online. Anyone know if the bulkhead relays are make and breaks or change overs?

Thanks

They do but i'm not with the car. I've also changed them around recently trying to identify a broken one and I fear I have got myself confused as to which type goes where. I'm fair sure all the bulkhead relays were the same type but couldn't remember if they were change overs or make and breaks. I think the fuel pump relay was a make a break but i'm not 100% sure.

Anyone know for sure? I'm trying to order before 1pm for next day delivery as the car is currently incapacitated.

I had the relay for the instruments out last week and it wasn't a changeover, it's was a double make our break.

Hope that helps

Matt

EDIT sorry, missed the part about bulkhead relays

very helpful. I'm fairly sure they are pretty much all double make and breaks. If anyone knows differently please let me know haha

EDIT



Looking at the diagram there are a few marked as 87a. I would suggest that the 87a's are Change overs and the all others are make a breaks. Does that sound right?

Still doesn't help with the bulkhead haha!

Just as an FYI for future searchers all the bulkhead relays are make and breaks.
