Relay

Post by fiat218 »

I was playing around with the wiring on the lime green 69 i have/ lets just say the wiring is all cut and some missing
Anyways i have the instrument panel completely out of the way and i pulled all the wiring down from behind the dash to the floor so i could sort it out, i notice right along the upper underside of the dash there is a relay ,but unplugged , what would that be for ? Dont see any unused plugs to plug it in, but there many unexplained wires cut, so maybe The Who ever cut that plug connection off, any one have a photo of the wires going to that

Fiat218,

PM me with your email address and I'll send you a scan of the electrical troubleshooting manual. It has all the component locations.

I don't have the diagram in front of me, but it's common to find the key buzzer disconnected

I'm not sure this applies to your car. Early Spiders had a round signal light flasher, a rocker switch to turn on the emergency flashers and a separate square flasher that was used in 4 way flasher only.
Hope this helps
Here are some photos of a removed emergency flasher with wires attached.

37 flasher,indicator 57
Also I just looked at the schematic you mentioned and believe the 4 way flasher indicator is item # 59 not 57 that the component list states. Sometimes even factory information has errors.
